From the composer:
"The Clarinet Quintet has five movements, the first two and last three of which are played attacca. The work begins with a short solo cadenza, followed by a more flowing main section (misterioso). In the middle section of the first movement, the tempo increases to Prestissimo before the slower tempo returns at the end. Following without a break comes the intangible second movement, very demanding for the clarinettist, which ends with a melancholically songful Andante. Most of the third movement is slow and elegiac; at the end there is a solo cadenza for the clarinet. As the cadenza progresses, the string quartet gradually joins in, and then we come to the fast and virtuosic fourth movement, Furioso, prestissimo, which contains the dynamic zenith of the entire work. This decisive climax is followed by the slow final movement, Epilogue, at the end of which this large-scale quintet fades away into silence."
