**Annotation** : Hungarian born composer Jenö Takács wrote several works that included this
clarinet including this quartet for four Bb clarinets. The work’s two movements are written in
two very different moods: movement 1 is a pastorale and movement 2 is a musical evocation of
bagpipes. The writing is substantially individualistic, but the range never exceeds F#4. There are
frequent tempo and metrics shifts which will create an additional challenge for ensembles.
