Clarinet Quintet in A Major Op. 146

Great Clarinet Quintets(2). Mozart's friendship with Anton Stadler, the clarinetist in Vienna's Royal-Imperial Court Orchestra, led to the composition of his beloved Quintet in A Major. The four-movement piece is arranged for clarinet, two violins, viola, and cello. Brahms's Clarinet Quintet in B minor, also in four movements, is equally popular and often recorded as a companion to Mozart's work. Professional and amateur musicians alike will appreciate this convenient single-volume publication of these frequently performed quintets. Both scores were reproduced from authoritative sources. Durable but inexpensive, this edition features a sturdy binding that allows pages to remain open on music stands for years of use and enjoyment.

With his clarinet quintet, begun in 1915, Reger was remembering his role models Mozart and Brahms, whose works in this genre he particularly admired. This melancholic quintet that is worked through in a strictly motivic way was to be Reger's last opus. Shortly after he had sent it to his publisher, he died of heart attack in May 1916. The quintet was to become his swan song, first performed at a memorial for the composer on 6 November 1916. Almost one hundred years later, we are now publishing it for the first time in an Urtext edition, edited by the Reger scholar Michael Kube. / Clarinette, 2 Violons, Alto Et Violoncelle

Par WEBER CARL MARIA VON / LEFEBVRE. French clarinetist, Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) superbly arranged Carl Maria Von Weber 's (1786-1826) Clarinet Quintet in B flat major, for Clarinet and Piano. Having studied under Hyacinthe Klosé at the Paris Conservatoire, Rose won many prizes at the institution and went on to teach many prolific clarinetists. The Fantaisie Et Rondo, extracted from Weber 's original Clarinet Quintet, and arranged for Clarinet and Piano by Rose has frequently been included in the set works list at the Paris Conservatoire. Suitable for advanced clarinetists, Fantaisie Et Rondo exploits theinstrument through uses of flourishing semiquaver passages, complex rhythms, varied articulation, ornamentation and use of a wide tessitura, among other aspects. For all advanced, aspiring clarinetists, Rose 's arrangement of Fantaisie Et Rondo for Clarinet and Piano is an exciting addition to the repertoire./ Répertoire / Clarinette en Sib et Piano

Par SENFTER JOHANNA. The number of well-known clarinet quintets is quite small. The only major composers whose clarinet quintets are relatively widespread are Mozart, Brahms, Weber and Reger. The composer Johanna Senfter (1879-1961) from Oppenheim admired the music of Johannes Brahms and of Max Reger who was her teacher. Her chamber music œuvre conveys a certain closeness to the clarinet. She even wrote a Sonata for clarinet, viola, horn and piano, op. 37, a Sonata for clarinet or viola and piano, op. 57, as well as a Trio for clarinet, horn and piano, op. 60. Continuing the historic line of Brahms and Reger, the clarinet quintet is steeped in the harmony, compositional style and expressiveness of her teacher Reger - a style which she developed even further and increased in expressiveness. This quintet is, without doubt, a valuable addition to the repertoire./ Répertoire / Clarinette et Quatuor à Cordes
