Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, K. 581, was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. A clarinet quintet is a work for one clarinet and a string quartet. Although originally written for basset clarinet, in contemporary performances it usually is played on a clarinet in A. It is Mozart's only completed clarinet quintet and is one of the earliest and best-known works that was written especially for the instrument. It remains to this day one of the most admired of the composer's works. Sometimes the quintet is referred to as the Stadler Quintet; Mozart so described it in a letter of April 1790. Mozart also wrote a trio for clarinet, viola, and piano for Stadler, the so-called Kegelstatt Trio, in 1786. Stadler was a friend to Mozart who was very talented in the instrument.
The work consists of the following four movements and, with the intended repetitions, has a duration of between 31 and 38 minutes, usually approximately 35 minutes.
1. Allegro, A major, time = 4/4, 197 bars, where bars 1 to 79 and bars 80 to 197 are repeated. This movement shows the typical sonata form with exposition, development, and recapitulation.
2. Larghetto, D major, time = 3/4, 85 bars
3. Menuetto with Trio I in A minor and Trio II in A major, time = 3/4, 31 + 41 + 51 bars. Here, too, the individual sections are repeated.
4. Allegretto con variazioni, A major (Variation III in A minor), time = 2/2. The presentation of the theme with 16 bars is followed by four variations with three times 16 and one time 20 bars. This is followed by two basically independent small movements: an Adagio with 21 bars and an Allegro with 36 bars. Here, too, repetition of the individual sections.
About the first part of the work, the first movement sets the mood for the entire piece. It has beautiful moving lines in all of the parts and in the second half there is a virtuoso run that is passed throughout the strings, based on material from the second section of the exposition.
