AFAIK, you are absolutely right. I was going from memory on Crusell -- I had
in the back of my mind an "old" Chantry LP with Georgina Dobree. After your
message, I went back and looked it up. Her recording was of the Krommer. As
for Hummel, I would have sworn I had a recording in front of me (with
quintets by two other composers) when I entered it and I was surprised
because I also thought he had only written a quartet. Now I can't find it
anywhere so I have to concede that it was probably a recording of the quartet
and I misread the label.

Egad. Did I spell it Friedman? Surely not. I know better. (I just checked
my original message and indeed I did.) My mistake.
For penance to Doug, here are a few (20th Century) additions:
Hanus Barton (Quintet Concerto)
Richard Rodney Bennett
Edvin Kallstenius
Oscar van Hemel
Christopher Hills
Tristan Keuris
Kaljo Raid (Suite in Olden Style, Little Quintet)
Francis Routh
Louise Talma (Summer Sounds)
Joseph Vella
Lubomir Zelezny
For penance to Peter, here are the only two entries I was able to turn up in
a search of the holdings of the Canadian Music Centre (an absolutely
wonderful resource):
Wolfgang Bottenberg (Fa so la ti do re for soprano-saxophone (or clarinet)
and string
quartet)
Arsenio Giron
I was about to sign off when I found a copy of Kal Opperman's "Repertory of
the Clarinet" that I must have picked up in a used book store sometime.
(Copyright 1960). Here are some additional quintets he lists. A few of
these may be arrangements of earlier works but I think most are original.
C. de Balorre
F. T. Blatt (Theme and Variations)
York Bowen
Geoffrey Bush (Rhapsody)
? Engel (Erste Suite)
Chr. Fleissner (Serenade)
Theo. Goldberg
Ian Hamilton
Edward Burlingame Hill
F. von Hoesslin
Karl Holler
Joseph Horvitz (Concertante)
C. Klose (Op. 14, 4th Solo in g)
H. Klose (12th Solo)
E. Kornauth
Alexandre Krein (Esquisses Hebraiques Nos. 1 & 2)
Fr. Kropsch (Fantasie und Variation "Im Tiefen Keller")
G. Landre (Vier Miniaturen)
Joseph Lederer
E. LInk (Chant d'Amour)
Otto Luening
Sigfried Walther Muller (Divertimento)
Gunther Raphael (Serenade)
Jaroslav Ridky
Kurt Schubert
Alan Schulman (Rendezvous)
Ewald Stasser
Hans Steiber
Burnet Tuthill
E. Weissenborn
William Wordsworth
I will leave this list with a teaser. Years ago, while rummaging through a
record store, I remember reading on the back of a record jacket that one of
Antonin Dvorak's earliest compositions was a clarinet quintet. Supposedly,
however, he destroyed it. Anyone else come across this story. If there was
one, perhaps Dieter Klocker will find it.
Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
