Quintet in A major for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581

The Clarinet Quintet in A major, K.581, is a chamber work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed in 1789. Scored for clarinet and string quartet, it exemplifies Classical-era chamber music with a prominent lyrical clarinet part set against warm string textures and a four-movement classical structure, and it appears among Mozart's late works in which he further explored wind sonorities in chamber settings.
