2-CD Set-Brahms' magnificent B-minor Clarinet Quintet is one of the summits of the chamber repertoire for clarinet. It is in many ways an homage to Mozart's classic quintet for clarinet. Not to be overlooked by any serious clarinetist. This deluxe 2-CD set includes the quintet in its original key with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets and adds a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists allowing players of that instrument to learn the same fingerings as the composer's intended A clarinet for performance purposes. Includes a high-quality newly engraved printed music score with parts in the original key for both A clarinet and B-flat clarinets plus a compact discwith a complete recording of the quintet with soloist and a second performance minus the soloist. Also includes a second compact disc containing a recording of the quintet repitched to allow B-flat clarinetists to play the original written part for A-clarinet. Performed by Collete Galante clarinet Accompaniment: The Classic String Quartet

Sonatina by Eugène Bozza is a piece for four unequal Clarinets (an E flat Clarinet two B flat and a Bb Bass Clarinet). Strongly lyrical this piece which lasts approximatively 7'50 minutes is very interesting and quite challenging to play. It explores the full high and low of the instruments and requires some good ability of breathing and strong agility. It is divided into three main parts which are: I. Allegro vivo II. Calme (Quiet) and III. Allegro Vivo. While the first and third sections are very cheerful and energetic the second part is slower and more reflective. Eugène Bozza won differentprizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas chamber works and ballets among others.
