Aren't we getting two different quintets mixed up here? The Kleine
Kammermusik for wind quintet does not call for Eb clarinet in one of its
movements, as far as I know. At least, I have never seen it performed
that way.

I was under the impression that there is another quintet, for clarinet and
strings, and that that was the one which contained such a requirement for
the clarinetist.

Help?????
