Wolfgang Mozart's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581, was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler.
The composer indicated that the work was finished on 29 September 1789. This quintet is sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet; Mozart so described it in a letter of April 1790.

It consists of four movements: 1. Allegro in A major and common time
2. Larghetto in D major and 3:4 time
3. Menuetto in A major and 3:4 time - Trio I in A minor - Trio II in A major
4. Allegretto con Variazioni in A major and common time


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.

First time I heard this was on M*A*S*H and I've loved it ever since

[electricallogan]

Same with me. Every time I hear this my mind immediately thinks of Charles and those POW's and what a lovely job they did playing this.

When i youn once MASH would come on i knew it was time for bed lol. Then when i was around 19 i fell in love with the show!!

There's nothing wrong with MASH. I think it was a very emotional and wholesome show, unlike the utter garbage on tv now.

Mozart was a musical genius. That's quite understood, so let's not belabor the point. We'll give him the due credit without going overboard and start worshiping the man. And that's coming from an orchestra cellist who has gone on tour across Europe, and who also saves lives on an ambulance in his spare time. So I hardly think I'm artless, soulless, or heartless.

@wwefreakjon me too!

I absolutely love the violin solos in this piece.

@vonspre Does it really matter how music is spread? I don't find it sad at all. M*A*S*H was a brilliant show and there's not much else that can compare to it in today's television. At least be thankful people are watching this show and enjoying THIS kind of music and not the other garbage that's out there. Mozart helps me study and I'm thankful that M*A*S*H allowed me to give this music a chance.

[Lilpapa89]

First found this in music class loved it ever since

[vonspre]

"first heard this on M.A.S.H"...That's America, I guess...Soooo sad and ridiculous at the same time...

[TheJoshuaCarter]

Yeah, when I hear this I don't think os M*A*S*H or anything like that; I think of how much of a genius Mozart was and how, to this day, his music changes lives.
