Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Quintet in A-major, K.V. 581*
Johannes Brahms: Clarinet Quintet in B-minor, Opus 115.
Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, of course, is an eminently well known piece, but what is less well known, the "original version" was expressly written, not for an ordinary clarinet but for the *basset clarinet. On this recording we can
hear one of the first versions in the world!
It is intersting to note that these two compositions (also then refering to the Clarinetconcerto) are the only ones ever written for the basset clarinet.
