About the Authors

Regarded by many as Brahms' first real chamber work, the Clarinet Quintet is here placed in the context of chamber music in general, Brahms' own earlier music, and the history and repertory of the clarinet generally. In addition to providing a detailed analysis, Colin Lawson pays special attention to performance traditions and also to the influence of Brahms' music on later composers. This handbook is the first comprehensive study of this work and it reflects the author's wide experience both as performer and scholar.
- The first book devoted to the work which is widely regarded as Brahms' supreme achievement in the field of chamber music
- The book is written by one of the foremost performers and scholars of the historical clarinet
- Special attention is given to performance practice, and Brahms' influence on later composers
