I remember rehearsing this piece years ago when I was in a quartet.
We rehearsed without the clarinettist for a day, and thought 'lovely
harmonies, it'll be nice with the tune'.  Unfortunately the clarinettist
was busy practising wondering why she hadn't got any tunes.  It seem
interminable and very unrewarding to play.
