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 second movement, in a sonata form with a six-bar transition in place of a central development section, opposes a first section which is mostly a long-breathed clarinet melody over muted strings, to a second group of themes in which - as in the first movement - several upward runs of scales are given to the first violin, alternating with brief phrases of clarinet melody. These scales are given to the clarinet in the recapitulation, and then in the last few bars of the movement, more chromatic than the rest, the scales turn into triplet arpeggios traded between the strings under the closing clarinet phrases.

Well yes, it is rather sad, and I was also rather disconcerted when it abruptly cut off in the middle. Unfortunately, 10 minutes is the limit for youtube videos so let's not blame the person sharing this?

I like the sound of period instruments here. Mozart at the best in this quartet!

Amen brother silvernlin, hell Mozart even insulted his cousin, of whom he was 'messing' around with and most likely fucking on a regular basis for at least, according to Mozartians, 4-5 months. It's all in his letters and it's sad people want to overlook this aspect of Mozart in so that they can mentally orgasm to his music without guilt of knowing that their lovavle genius was really no different from any one of us!

@LambChowder1 - Judging from the abhorrent absence of intellect in your comments, I must assume you suffer from a mental disability. Upon that judgment I will not further reply to you, as it would be a complete waste of my time, and yours.
