It's the one I referred to in the last post. An excellent clarinet quartet,
fairly difficult but manageable, and in my opinion the third part goes best
on basset horn (but alto can be used). Lively and fun. My thanks to Lori
Lovato, who introduced this to us at Kammermusik one year.

Piazzola 1921-1992 was an Argentinian composer, in whom the tango was a
primary influence. See
