Mozart was so enchanted by his friend Anton Stadler that he wrote him both a full concerto and a chamber quintet for clarinet and string quartet. In January, join members of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra for Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Beethoven’s Piano Trio for clarinet, cello, and piano, a pair of works that showcase the clarinet’s agility and lyricality.

Beethoven wrote the Sextet in E-flat Major for the unusual combination of two horns and string quartet, with the horns functioning as a virtuosic unit and ripping up and down fiery arpeggios. The horn’s association with hunting plays into the next work on the program, Mozart’s String Quartet No. 17 (“The Hunt”), a lively, galloping affair for string quartet. The program concludes with Ravel’s Piano Trio, with nods to his Spanish heritage in its melodies.
