Continuing my journey through the Beethoven quartets with Op.127 and Op.130. It's a very interesting process listening to them all in sequence and with the score.'Man know thyself'

This morning: Pleyel's Clarinet Concerto. It was thought that he would become the greatest composer of his time. What happened?

Seriously, it is a wonderful melody, but listening to it for fifteen minutes straight can be difficult, unless you are really in the mood for it or you really focus on the orchestration.
