Piano Quintet in E-Flat major K.452

This luscious quintet is scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. Mozart's magnificent orchestration of the winds with piano creates a warm and glowing texture of sound, and each instrument emerges at times for aprominent position. Cast in three movements: Largo/Allegro moderato: Larghetto: and Rondo/Allegretto. Truly one of the great works in this format and wonderful fun to practice and perform.

Includes the complete clarinet solo partprinted on high-quality ivory paper and a CD containing a complete performance of the quintet with soloist, then performed again minus the soloist. Performed by Aldo Simonelli, clarinet Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen, piano: NewArt Wind Quintet: Mel Kaplan, oboe: Tina DiDario, bassoon: Murray Panitz, flute
