Ever since Mozart encountered the Clarinet in Mannheim in 1778 he loved the instrument?s warm and expressive tone. His friendship with Anton Stadler the clarinetist in the Royal-Imperial Court Orchestra in Vienna prompted him to compose not only the Clarinet Concerto (K. 622) but also this ?Quintet of Quintets? which was written two years before his death. Like almost all his works for the Clarinet this Quintet wasprobably intended originally for the Basset Clarinet. However it survives only in two posthumous prints both of which call for a standard Clarinet. These prints form the basis of our edition. As an added bonus the appendixcontains a fragmentary Allegro in Bb major for the same combination of instruments.

for Flute Oboe Clarinet in Bb Bassoon and Horn in F-Alan Bullard's Dances for Wind Quintet were commissioned by the Marlborough Wind Quintet and first performed by them in the Purcell Room in June 1983. It was subsequently taken up by the Vega Wind Quintet who broadcast it on BBC Radio 3 and since then it has received numerous performances worldwide.

für Klarinette 2 Violinen Viola und Violoncello-1890 est l?année où Brahms envisagea d?arrêter de composer. Heureusement sa rencontre avec Richard von Mühlfeld clarinettiste du célèbre orchestre de la cour de Meiningen le détourna de ce projet et l?incita dès 1891 à composer le trio avec clarinette op. 114 ainsi que le quintette avec clarinette op. 115 ? deux des ?uvres les plus extraordinaires qui soient parmi le répertoire de cet instrument. Les premières exécutions publiques eurent lieu à Berlin et un peu plus tard à Vienne et furent couronnées d?un tel succès que Joseph Joachim désigna le quintette avec clarinette comme l?une des meilleures ?uvres jamais composées par Brahms. Comme toujours la présente édition urtext deséditions Henle a donné lieu à l?analyse approfondie de toutes les sources pertinentes. Les corrections personnelles de Brahms y ont également été intégrée.

Robin Milford was a friend of Gerald Finzi and this work certainly owes something to that major 20th century composer. The Quintet is full of wonderful tunes as well as robust and characteristic writing for both the Clarinet and Strings. Arranged for Clarinet and String Quartet.

Postcards was written in 1991 for the Vega Wind Quintet who first performed it at the Huddersfield Festival in the same year. It is a reworking of a set of eight Bagatelles written in 1965: each movement has been rewritten and enlarged to a greater or lesser extent. The title was chosen to emphasise the nature of the pieces which are in a sense brief postcards from different genres (fugato dance etc). John McCabe (1939-2015) was a British composer pianist and music administrator. He studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music and built a career as a virtuoso pianist. However he also wrote several hundred musical compositions ranging from large-scale orchestral works to chamber music and solo instrumental pieces - it is said the only classical genre he did not write for was opera. 

Wind Quintet No.2 Op.15 is a piece by Danish composer Svend Westergaard.Svend Westergaard's music is always thematically/motivically structured such that the works in various ways are built up as variations elaborations and experimental treatments of recognisable material giving the music cohesive power and comprehensible logic.
