The "Movement for clarinet, 2 violins, viola & cello in B flat major (fragment), K. Anh. 91 (516c)" is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the late 1780s or early 1790s. The piece was never completed, and only one movement exists. The premiere of the piece is also unknown, as it was never performed during Mozart's lifetime. The manuscript was discovered in the 19th century and has since been studied and performed by musicians and scholars. The single movement of the piece is in B flat major and is marked "Allegro." It begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the clarinet, which is then echoed by the violins. The viola and cello provide a steady accompaniment to the melody. The second section of the movement features a more lyrical and expressive theme, played first by the violins and then taken up by the clarinet. The music builds to a climax before returning to the original theme. The piece is characteristic of Mozart's style, with its elegant melodies, clear harmonies, and balanced structure. The use of the clarinet as a solo instrument is also typical of Mozart's music, as he was one of the first composers to fully explore the expressive capabilities of the instrument. Overall, the "Movement for clarinet, 2 violins, viola & cello in B flat major (fragment), K. Anh. 91 (516c)" is a beautiful and engaging piece of music that showcases Mozart's mastery of composition and his ability to create memorable melodies.
