Hummel, Clarinet Quartet.  A new edition by Alan Hacker of this delightful work

Mozart Bb Quintet for Clarinet in Bb & String Quartet.  This quintet is built around the fragment of a Bb Quintet, (K516c) completed by Duncan Druce with arrangements by Tony Turrill of string quartets (K589, K464) to provide the slow movement, minuet/trio and finale.  Written for Bb basset clarinet but alternatives for the normal Bb instrument are also provided.

Mozart A Quintet  (K581)for Clarinet in A & String Quartet.  An edition by Alan Hacker representing a lifetime of study and performance.  Whilst it includes parts for the normal Bb Clarinet,  with a slow movement decorated in the manner of the period,   the main departure is in a reconstruction of the original basset clarinet part.  This explores how Mozart may well have used the full potential of the instrument in his original version, now sadly lost.

Mozart Quintet for C Clarinet, Basset Horn & String Trio.  Similar to the Bb Quintet in that it is a completion by Druce of the first movement (K580) with arrangements Tony Turrill of an Adagio, Minuet/Trio & Finale to make a complete quintet.

Mozart/Turrill Quintet for Clarinet, Basset Horn and String Trio.  An arrangement of the String Quintet K 515, the opening of which could have been written for the basset horn

Schubert/Turrill  Quintet for Clarinet  and String Quartet.  A setting of one of Schubert’s most melodic sonatas (D664)
