Mozart's Clarinet Quartet is in fact a re-arrangement of his Piano Trio in G.
After the composer's death in 1791 his widow Constanze came to an agreement with the publisher Johann Andre, who bought the remaining manuscripts.
Although it is unlikely that Mozart transcribed the work, it is more than possible that Andre, an accomplished composer himself, was responsible for this effective and delightful transformation.
Weber’s Clarinet Quintet was written for the outstanding clarinetist of the Munich Orchestra, Heinrich Bärmann. Weber was so taken with Bärmann’s playing that in 1811, he quickly composed two clarinet concertos and a concertino for him. He also started work on the Quintet, but did not complete it until four years later on August 25, 1815 - the day before the premiere performance.
