Anytime I find out more about a particular piece the Sneezy database
gets updated. A couple of us do the basic research, but many times
our sources leave out some of the important information (like the
3rd movement being for the Eb clarinet).

Anytime you come across something like this, please let me know=20
so I can get the database in better order.

Indeed, further research on this piece showing the German title from
B. Schott's S=F6hne shows:

Quintett f=FCr Klarinette in B und Es,|b2 Violinen, Viola=20
und Violoncello, Opus 30.=20
