From the Publisher
This large-scale masterpiece has been arranged for a large-scale clarinet choir with a spectacular result. One of Brahms most beautiful pieces of music translates to clarinets so well, you'll wonder why Brahms didn't think to arrange it for this combination himself. Instrumentation: 2 E-flat Clarinets, 4 B-Flat Clarinets, 2 Alto Clarinets (or Basset Horns), 2 Bass Clarinets, Contrabass/Contralto/String Bass
