Carl Oestreich: Quintet in E-flat major for 2 Clarinets, 2 Horns and Bassoon

This Quintet in E-flat major was composed around 1825 in Frankfurt am Main. Despite the extensive output of its composer, the horn player Carl Oestreich (1800–1840), it is his only work for this unusual instrumentation. It is published here for the first time (first edition).
