Dvorak wrote a Clarinet Quintet in B flat minor, Op 5 or 6? B14, 1865/9
and an Octet or Serenade for cl bn hn 2vn va db pf, Op 22 B36, 1873.
Both were lost, or destroyed by the composer.
Dvorak may have redeployed some of this music.
A reconstruction of the Octet has been completed,
based on the Serenade for strings Op 22, B52, 1875
It has been recorded by members of the Czech Nonet.
