Whoops!  Before I am condemned for being a brutish and dogmatic Mozart
hater, I would quickly like to make amends by making exception for the
Clarinet Quintet.  This is Mozart for anti-Mozartians.  Although the outer
movements don't leave me feeling completely convinced they are still an
excellent foil for the slow movement - which really is wonderful.
