"His dear nightingale..." Piano Trios with Clarinet

Beethoven’s own arrangement of his extremely popular septet, scored for clarinet, cello and piano and Brahms’ late sumptuous trio with the same formation, inspired by the exquisite playing of the German clarinettist, Richard Mühlfeld, whom he endearingly called “his dear nightingale.”
