Johannes Brahms – Capriccio No. 2, Op. 76 (Clarinet Nonet + Contrabassoon)

Capriccios in general are thought not to adhere specific compositional rules, yet here Brahms allows himself to find order within the form. It’s whimsical, quirky, and completely delightful.

This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for E-flat Clarinet, 6 B-flat Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, Contralto Clarinet, & Contrabassoon.
