Sergei Prokofiev - Quintet for Oboe, Clarinet, Violin, Viola and Double Bass, Op.39 (1924)
Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (27 April [O.S. 15 April] 1891 - 5 March 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor who later worked in the Soviet Union. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous music genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard pieces as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet-from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken-and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created-excluding juvenilia-seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, a symphony-concerto for cello and orchestra, and nine completed piano sonatas.

What an astoundingly beautiful recording by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players at their very best.

[@iggyseffects]

the third movement of this is my favorite!! on the whole it looks like a difficult piece to play - this ensemble sounds great

[@BetaAxolotl]

I am in love with this piece

[@JohnClaffey]

One of my favourite pieces :)

[@Gerhold102]

So otherworldly!

[@carcar087]

Is the clarinet in this piece supposed to be Clarinet in Bb or Clarinet in A? Because I saw some notes that I don't think are possible on Bb Clarinet but might be on A.

[@koniiri3254]

I don't sure, but I think in A

[@gjdkdovm]

It looks like the notes are in concert pitch so it would be different notes when transposed into Bb or A

[@GaliaVictoriaMusic]

@@gjdkdovm that's right, the alterations written here are the same as the other instruments, this means that if he would have been wrote already transposed we would see different (more or less) alterations for the clarinet part.

[@m.kostoglod7949]

It is written in concert pitch in order to be possible to play on any clarinet in theory, but if you're true, this means Prokofiev didn't realize it's not possible on Bb

Superb composition. Definitely not Formalist in concept.
