Coleridge-Taylor is the black composer that wrote the clarinet quintet
which esp in the slow movement sounds very reminiscent of Dvorak. By
the way there is a CD of this by Harold Wright, and it is the only
recording so far. Samuel Taylor Coleridge is the English poet, who
so far as I know, wrote nothing for clarinet...
