Greetings!
I’ve been asked to prepare parts for clarinets (in B flat) from the 1st and 2nd violin parts and the viola part of Mozart Horn Concerto K417. I’ve just started and am wondering whether the strings’ slurs can stay as they are for the clarinet parts or whether they should be changed. If so, in what way? I am a string player and so know nothing about clarinettists’ breath control!
Many thanks
Andreo Basisto

I do a lot of violin to clarinet transcription and generally Mozart's original slurs work well for both instruments. So I would leave them as is, since the clarinetists will make any small modifications necessary and that might even vary from player to player in some cases.
