Brahms had in fact wanted to stop composing in 1890, but his encounter with the clarinettist Richard Muhlfeld inspired him so much that he produced several works in a row for him over a brief period of time. The melodious Quintet op. 115 has been popular with musicians and audiences alike since its premiere in 1891. Even prior to printing - and presumably with a view toward further dissemination of the work - an alternate version was written with viola instead of clarinet, premiered by no less than Joseph Joachim and authorized by Brahms. The Henle study edition, revised according to the text of the New Brahms Complete Edition, thus also documents for the first time the viola variants of the solo part in the ossias. In a brief preface, editor Kathrin Kirsch provides insight into the genesis of the work and discusses interesting variants of transmission in the Comments.

In the 1870s, visiting American composer Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), from Connecticut, happened to stay at the George Hotel, in Piercebridge, in the North of England, and was told the story of the Jenkins brothers and the old clock. He was fascinated by the story, and using it as inspiration, composed a song which he published in 1878 after his return to the States. This song - My Grandfather?s Clock - is reputedly his own interpretation of the Piercebridge clock story, and became very famous, selling over a million copies. Japanese arranger Takao Shirikawa has produced this theme and variations, based on the famous melody, for four clarinets.In Piercebridge, Engeland, ligt het George Hotel, dat in de negentiende eeuw werd gerund door twee broers met de naam Jenkins. In de hal stond een staande klok, die perfect gelijk liep. Na de dood van een van de gebroeders begon deklok achter te lopen. Nadat de tweede heer Jenkins overleed, gaf de oude klok er voorgoed de brui aan. Toen de Amerikaanse componist Henry Clay Work in het George Hotel verbleef, kreeg hij het verhaal over de klok te horen. Hijschreef daarop de bekende song My Grandfather's Clock - die Takao Shirakawa gebruikte voor deze Grandfather's Clock Variation.Henry Clay Work komponierte dieses Stuck im 18. Jahrhundert, inspiriert von der Legende uber eine alte Standuhr in einem Hotel in England, die zum Todeszeitpunkt ihres Besitzers fur immer stehen geblieben war.

“Paul Taffanel (1844-1908) was a French flautist, conductor and composer. He contributed significantly to the repertoire of the Flute and his Wind Quintet also remains prominent to this day. In 1879, Taffanel founded the Society of Chamber Music for Wind Instruments, reviving the wind ensemble music of Mozart and Beethoven. His Wind Quintet in G minor had been composed three years previously, in 1876, and is made up of three movements; 1) Allegro con moto, 2) Andante, and 3) Vivace. For the repertoire of this popular ensemble arrangement, Taffanel's Wind Quintet is an essential addition. ”.
