Great playing and interpretation! I was wondering a bit about key/pitch though. From what I can see it seems like the clarinetist is fingering as though she was playing a C instrument whereas the bassoonist as if he was playing in D (assuming a bassoon in C). Or am I mistaken? Checking pitch it seems quite close to modern D. Just curious...

Quite a lovely and (mostly) lively little piece that deserves to be heard and enjoyed much more widely.
Thank you for this❣
Both outstanding players!

Interesting. Attractive piece. It sounds quite Mozartian. So I'm guessing it's an early piece..
