I've always loved Bärman's Adagio. If my memory serves me right, it was taken from his clarinet quintet. The piano part is excellent and pianists love to play it. For a long time, the piece was wrongly attributed to Wagner. Its performance requires really good tone; good breath control and a good sense of form and pacing. I think it is pieces like this that really separate the men from the boys (or the women from the girls; let us not be sexist!); more so than ones with thousands of notes that you try to play as fast and loud as possible. Any fool can play loud and fast.
