Clarinet Quintet / String Quartet, K. 421

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Arcanto Quartett & Jörg Widmann

Clarinet Quintet / String Quartet, K. 421 is a chamber-music pairing of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with the String Quartet K.421 composed in 1783 and the Clarinet Quintet completed in 1789. Both pieces exemplify Mozart's mature Classical style: the quartet is representative of his mid-1780s string-quartet writing and the clarinet quintet broadens the chamber palette by integrating the clarinet as a lyrical solo voice alongside the strings.
