Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart brought the status of the clarinet to new heights when he set some of his most profoundly lyrical melodies for the instrument. Carrying the elegant phrase structures of the First Viennese School into the romantic era, Brahms explores the timbre of the instrument in an even richer setting with his powerful yet tender Quintet. Although this program features two unparalleled masters firmly in the classical canon, the unfinished Allegros of Mozart (presented as finished works on this concert) are scarcely performed treasures.
