Quintet for Clarinet and Strings

Album by Johannes Brahms & Karl Leister & Vermeer Quartet

The Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B minor, Op. 115 is a chamber composition by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1891. Scored for clarinet and string quartet, it employs late-Romantic harmonic language, warm autumnal colour and intricate contrapuntal textures, and represents a late-period return to intimate chamber writing in Brahms's career.
