Clarinet Trio in A minor, op. 114
The Clarinet Trio in A minor, Op. 114, is one of four chamber works composed by Johannes Brahms featuring the clarinet as a primary instrument. It was written in the summer of 1891 in Bad Ischl for the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld and first performed privately on 24 November 1891 in Meiningen and publicly in Berlin on 12 December that year.
The work calls for clarinet, piano, and cello, and is one of the very few in that genre to have entered the standard repertoire.
