Arrangement for clarinet quartet of El Murci�lago, composed by Johann Strauss. The original literary source for Die Fledermaus was Das Gef�ngnis (The Prison), a farce by German playwright Julius Roderich Benedix that premiered in Berlin in 1851. On 10 September 1872, a three-act French vaudeville play by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Hal�vy, Le R�veillon, loosely based on the Benedix farce, opened at the Th��tre du Palais-Royal. Meilhac and Hal�vy had provided several successful libretti for Offenbach and Le R�veillon later formed the basis for the 1926 silent film So This Is Paris, directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

This arrangement for clarinet quartet includes the following parts: Bb Clarinet 1 or Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet 2, Bb Clarinet 3 or Eb Alto Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet.
