Who made the clarinet famouse?

Initially, Wolfgang Mozart and Anon StadlerThe clarinet was not very well known in the Baroque period of music (this was when Bach wrote music). Generally, clarinet players would have to travel all around Europe looking for a job. One extremely talented clarinet player was Anton Stadler, who played the bass clarinet. When Wolfgang Mozart heard Stadler play, he was inspired to write his Clarinet Concerto, still known as one of the greatest masterpieces of the clarinet repertoire. The two also became close friends. Most importantly, a famous composer like Mozart writing a concerto for clarinet brought attention to the instrument. This led to many composers writing for the clarinet. While composers such as Weber, Spohr and Crusell did make the clarinet more famous by writing for it, Mozart was the one who initially made the clarinet well known. So, the answer is, the clarinet was initially made famous by either Mozart, for writing his Concerto, or Anton Stadler, indirectly, by inspiring him to do so. The clarinet was made more famous later in time by many people, such as those aforementioned composers and clarinet players like Simon Hermstedt, Heinrich Baermann, Artie Shaw, and Benny Goodman (the last two for making clarinet famous within the jazz genre).

A clarinet concerto is a piece of music written for clarinet to be played with an orchestra. The most famous clarinet concerto ever written is Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A.

A clarinet quintet is a piece for clarinet and string quartet. A string quartet typically has 2 violins, a viola, and a cello. There are numerous composers that wrote for this genera, but since we talked about the Mozart Clarinet Concerto above it is interesting to note that Mozart also wrote a Clarinet Quintet.

How often is the lowest note on the clarinet played?

The lowest note on a standard Bb clarinet is a written E, an octave below the treble staff and it is used frequently. Because the clarinet is a transposing instrument, that E actually sounds a concert D. (That's the D in the middle of the bass clef, although it's not written in bass clef in clarinet music). Any time a concert D in that octave is called for, it can be written for clarinet. For some instruments, the lowest few notes are difficult to sound or to play in tune, and are avoided by composers and arrangers. The clarinet's low E is considered a safe, reliable note and is not avoided.
