Re: A repatoire that requires no clarinetist

I suppose Brahms must have died amidst composing for several pieces. I love his Clarinet Quintet Op.115 and would love to play similar clarinet driven pieces by different composers.

I wasn't clear before when I said there was little music for the clarinet in classical music. What I intended to say was that before the modern classical period there are only a few clarinet-driven pieces of music as opposed to the number of string-driven compositions.

Where the clarinet is in a large number of symphonies and orchestras, it's often delegated to a quiet corner. You play a couple measures and then face a wall of rests.

My violin partner and I are going to the local music store tomorrow to pick out a couple duet books. Thanks for the suggestion of flute music.
