沃夫岡•阿瑪迪斯•莫札特（W. A. Mozart）的單簧管作品在歷史上有著舉足輕重的地位，但有許多的學者將注意力著重在莫札特的《A大調單簧管協奏曲》上。但筆者認為，單簧管五重奏的重要性也不容忽視。單簧管於十七世紀末，才出現在音樂的歷史上，它在發展初期，擁有多種調性。莫札特以其對音樂的敏銳度，選擇為A調單簧管創作多首作品。單簧管家安東•史塔特勒（A. Stadler）有著高超的演奏技巧，他與樂器製造商－特歐多•路滋（T. Lotz）合作發展巴賽單黃管的音域範圍，使其音域能夠往下擴展至C。莫札特為此樂器特別創作了作品六二二及作品五八一。
《單簧管五重奏》（作品581）共分四個樂章，筆者將就各樂章的曲式、素材、和聲的使用方式以及詮釋•••等加以討論。《單簧管五重奏》以其樂曲本身的豐富性以及藝術價值，就足以撼動室內樂的歷史，且單簧管加上弦樂四重奏的配置，開啟了室內樂的另一個領域。此類型的編制，成為日後眾多作曲家嘗試寫作的配置之一。在眾多的單簧管五重奏作品中，與莫札特作品五八一具有相當的藝術價值的，就屬約翰尼斯•布拉姆斯（J. Brahms）以及馬克思•雷格（M. Reger）的五重奏作品。莫札特，布拉姆斯以及雷格，皆屬德國傳統派的重要人物。這三位偉大作曲家的單簧管五重奏作品，有著令人感到詫異的巧合，例如作品的產生靈感，皆來自於優秀的演奏家，或是作品的產生時間，恰巧都是作曲家過世前一兩年，•••等等。總而言之，莫札特的作品《單簧管五重奏》，在室內樂史上，扮演著重要的角色。

W. A. Mozart‘s compositions for clarinet played a significant role in the music history. Many scholars took their attention to Concerto in A major for Clarinet and Orchestra. However, the importance of Clarinet Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet is unneglectable. According to the literature, the development of clarinet in the musical history is no earlier than the seventeenth century. Clarinet had a variety of sizes and tonalities in the beginning of development. Mozart composed lots of brilliant compositions for the combination with the clarinet in A. A. Stadler, a clarinetist, had excellent skill in playing clarinet. He cooperated with T. Lotz, an instrumental maker, extended the compass of basset clarinet lower to C. Inspired by Stadler and the invented instrument, Mozart wrote Clarinet Quintet, K. V. 581 and Clarinet Concerto, K. V. 622 for the basset clarinet.
Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, K. V. 581 is undeniably important to the history of chamber music. Clarinet Quintet, K. V. 581 is composed in four movements. Harmony, form, texture, idiom and expression in every movement were discussed in Chapter3.
The setting of clarinet and string quartet was also an innovation for the chamber music in his time. This setting of Clarinet Quintet became one of the standard settings which several composers tried to compose music for. Among the works, J. Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet, op. 115 and M. Reger’s Clarinet Quintet, op. 146 have gained the same respect as Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, K. V. 581. These works have several similarities. For example, they were all created in one or two years before the composers’ death, and the inspiration for creating the music all came from the cooperation with the outstanding performers …etc. To sum up, Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, K. V. 581 is important and influential to the history of chamber music.
