arr. Bruce A Evans
comp. F. Mendelssohn
There are only a few string quartets by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, and only two string quintets, among them String Quintet No.1, op.18 in A-major. The American saxophonist und arranger Bruce A. Evans arranged it for us as clarinet quintet.
The special instrumentation with two violins, two violas and one cello made it suitable to arrange it for saxophone quintet in F major. This arrangement ist a clarinet quintet based on the compatible saxophone version.
