Mozart - Clarinet Quintet K.581, Allegro In F Major K.580b; Brahms - Clarinet Quintet In B Minor - Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer, Carmina Quartet / Sony Classical Audio CD 2010 / 88697 64689 2 UPC 886976468927   Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, K. 581, was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. A clarinet quintet is a work for one clarinet and a string quartet. Although originally written for basset clarinet, in contemporary performances it is usually played on a clarinet in A. It was Mozart's only completed clarinet quintet, and is one of the earliest and best-known works written especially for the instrument. It remains to this day one of the most admired of the composer's works. The quintet is sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet; Mozart so described it in a letter of April 1790. Mozart also wrote a trio for clarinet, viola and piano for Stadler, the so-called Kegelstatt Trio, in 1786.   Label: Sony Classical – 88697 64689 2 Format: CD, Album Country: Europe Released:    2010 Genre: Classical Style: Classical, Romantic         Tracklist:   Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Clarinet Quintet in A Major K.581     1 – Allegro 9:12   2 – Larghetto 5:58   3 – Menuetto 6:50   4 – Allegro Con Variazioni 9:14       Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart     Allegro For Clarinet, Bassett Horn And String Trio in F Major K.580b (Fragment)     5 – Allegro 11:05       Johannes Brahms     Clarinet Quintet In B Minor , Op. 115     6 – Allegro     7 – Adagio Piu Lento     8 – Andantino Presto Non Assai, Ma Con Sentimento     9 – Con Moto           Basset Horn – Wolfgang Meyer (3) (tracks: 5) Clarinet – Sabine Meyer (tracks: 1-5), Wolfgang Meyer (3) (tracks: 6-9)
