Since you have explicitly asked for an opinion, I'll give you
one.

The Weber clarinet quintet is a pretty piece but a musically
empty and vacuous composition. There is insufficient musical
substance to sustain it, and one wearies of it quickly. I
perceive it demonstrates technical fluency but little musical
content.

Subject: [kl] von Weber's Clarinet Quintet in Bb

Anyone have any opinions of Carl Maria von Weber's Clarinet
Quintet in Bb or
as it is performed by Emma Johnson?

I am listening to it right now and I have to say it one of the
most
beautiful pieces I have ever heard and would love to learn how to
play that
piece too one day.

By the way, is this the piece that someone earlier was asking for
the
complete orchestration of? I would really just like to see the
clarinet
part(s) and examine the complexity of them, for listening to this
piece
makes me think that the performer gets quite a work-out!

Shalom and gut shabbos y'all!
