Last night I listened to the Brahms clarinet quintet and sonatas.  Although
I started off in an agitated mood based on happenings in the work place, by
the time I was half-way through these works, my mood had changed to one of
satisfaction, calm, and readiness to face existing and new life problems.
This is the typical reaction I have to the Brahms clarinet chamber works.

Do any list members share these feelings about the Brahms works? Any other
pieces which result in this great frame of mind?
