Nice playing, everyone! I just listened to about 10 other ensembles (mostly european) do this movement, and yours is the most balanced. I was particularly listening to the clarinets, since I might be playing this piece in June, and I really appreciated the great musicianship, especially getting out of the way of the oboes with the melody, even when the clarinet part is marked forte.....bravi!

Wonderful! Krommer doesn't get the attention he deserves.
