Hi all! Thank God Brahms wrote his clarinet works at the end of his
life--that's why they're so deep, so profound. He brought his years of
compostitional craft to bear on these wonderful four works, just like Mozart
did with the Concerto. Just compare the Mozart bassoon concerto, K. 191, an
early work, with the clarinet concerto, K. 622, a very late work, and you'll
see what I mean.
