In addition to Eric Nelson's wonderful post, I'd like to add the
following from Mike Bryant's notes to the Clarinet Classics Nielsen CD
Eric mentioned.

"Nielsen had strong feelings for the clarinet. It can be, he wrote, 'at
once warm-hearted and completely hysterical, gentle as balm and screaming
as a streetcar on poorly lubricated rails'."

What a quote!

I highly recommend the Clarinet Classics CD of Nielsen. The quintet is
amazing, and Oxenvad is quite a player.
