The Quintet for Bb Clarinet and strings, Opus 95 by Franz Krommer is
available for download and your playing pleasure.
The first and third movements are fun to play but the 4th Allegro is
a delight. The second is rather ho-hum in my opinion.

I've been after a snooty string quartet to play some quintets with me
for several years. They're made up of a retired music teacher and
violinist in our local school district (Joe Burger) and long-time
colleagues. Once each year they have a week-long Burgerfest, one
year in southern California the next in the north. The host gets to
make the schedule and I finally twisted the arm of the violist who is
hosting this year to let me play with them. She set next Wednesday,
June 20, as "Clarinet Day". Then she told the other members who were
NOT amused. So, as the peacemaker, she told them they could "warm
up" in the morning and we'd play in the afternoon. So it will be
"Clarinet Half-Day". That's O.K. I'm going to pull the Brahms on
them and watch them sweat it out! 8-)

Happy playing, all.
