    Elliott Cook Carter (1908 – 2012) was an American composer.  The Clarinet Quintet was commissioned by The Juilliard School with support of The Trust of Francis Goelet, and was finished on October 7, 2007.  The composer states that is was composed "...with the wonderful performers and the warm friendship of the Juilliard Quartet and the outstanding clarinetist Charles Neidich in mind.  In it the clarinet follows its own musical character in contrast to that of the quartet.  There are five interlocking movements with no pauses.  Having written a Clarinet Concerto and five string quartets, work on this was particularly attractive."  The world premiere was performed by Charles Neidich with the Juilliard String Quartet in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Juilliard School, New York, NY, USA on April 29, 2008.

    There are no extended techniques in the clarinet part.
