Talk:Quintet for Clarinet and Strings

Ambiguous

Brahms has a fairly famous Clarinet Quintet. The address of this page should probably be changed to contain "(Mozart)".

Probably the page Clarinet Quintet (Mozart) has the right title, but the content here is better-formulated, in my opinion, which is what my merge suggestion meant (I know that's not what you were referring to, especially since you wrote that before I made the suggestion anyway... darn precognitive telepaths ;) ) Indeed, even if there were only two famous clarinet quintets, there are enough often-enough-played ones that a page [[Clarinet Quintet]] (or Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, similarly) should be about the genre, not about a specific case with a disambig/other uses line at the top- and this doesn't even have that. There are few string sextets as famous as the Brahms two- even the Strauss, Tchaikovsky souvenir and Schoenberg, sextets by other names, aren't, I think? (or maybe one of them is better known than the Brahms two, given how often the Brahms have to be introduced in concert. Hrm. A question of fact, not mere declaration... I wonder. Anyway. But the page String sextet isn't just about the Brahms works for similar reasons. As to clarinet quintets... Putting aside Carl Maria von Weber's reasonably famous quintet too!... A composer whose 100th "was" yesterday, Benjamin Frankel wrote a twice-recorded clarinet quintet, just to continue the list a bit...) Schissel-nonLop! 14:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
