As early as the late 18th century, many were fascinated with its incisive, unmistakable sound - particularly Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was inspired to compose several celebrated works for the instrument. Its expressive timbre naturally made it a favorite among Romantic composers. The clarinet also played a key role in the development of modernism; beginning with Gustav Mahler, the instrument increasingly moved into the spotlight as an indispensable color in orchestral compositions - not only for melodious sounds, however, but also for shrill effects.
