Clarinet quintet
Traditionally a clarinet quintet is a chamber musical ensemble made up of one clarinet, plus the standard string quartet of two violins, one viola, and one cello. Now the term clarinet quintet can refer to any combination of instruments in the clarinet family (mainly B♭, E♭, bass, and E♭ alto clarinets). The term is also used to refer to a piece written for one of these ensembles.
One of the earliest and most influential works for the traditional combination of clarinet and string quartet is Mozart's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581, written for the clarinetist Anton Stadler in 1789. Although a few compositions for this ensemble were produced over the following years, including the Clarinet Quintet in B♭ major, Op. 34 by Carl Maria von Weber, a composer famous for his solo clarinet compositions, it was not until Johannes Brahms composed his Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115 for Richard Mühlfeld that the clarinet quintet began to receive considerable attention from composers.
Composers such as Franz Krommer and Joseph Küffner wrote for clarinet quintets which include two violas rather than two violins.
