Introduction: "Mantras" are Buddhist cultural prayer repetitions of short, concise formulae to bring about a sanctum of postive thoughts, to express a basic trust of creation and to bring a person closer to himself. These are characteristics which can be found in the music of Mozart. In this respect, fragments of the aria "Non ho colpa" were used and repeated for this clarinet quintett. A work of postive radiation was created.
