The eighty-first classical recording: #481 Johannes Brahms - Clarinet Quintet
I think this might have been the first piece we've done that focuses on the clarinet. It's nice as a change of pace, the strings aren't as heavy and without a full orchesa the piece feels a lot more delicate. The piece itself feels a bit downbeat and sad, with the third movement having some exceptions, but the tone gets set for that early on. The bts where the clarinet really gets to shine with some rapid movements and pieces, change that a bit as well, but it is mostly kept low key. It works, a nice listenable piece that do't assault you, but keeps you in a slightly sombre (apparently autumnal mood).
