Clarinet Quintet K. 581 / Clarinet Quartet K. 374f

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Danubius Quartet & József Balogh

This album pairs Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A major, K. 581, and the Clarinet Quartet K. 374f, chamber works dating from 1789 and the early 1780s respectively. Both pieces exhibit Classical-era clarity, lyrical melodic writing and intimate ensemble textures that highlight the clarinet's expressive range, and they occupy a recognised place in Mozart's chamber output and the development of the clarinet repertoire.
