== Instrumentation ==
Bruch wrote a number of works for the rarely utilized combination of clarinet and viola, and this concerto is one of the finest and most melodic of them. Although it is not nearly as popular as works such as the First Violin Concerto, the Scottish Fantasy and the Kol Nidre which keep Bruch in the repertory, the fact that several notable recordings of it have appeared in recent years may be regarded as a testament to its worth.
The concerto is scored for solo [[clarinet]] in A and [[viola]], two [[Flute|flutes]], two [[Oboe|oboes]], [[cor anglais]], two [[Clarinet|clarinets]] in A, two [[Bassoon|bassoons]], four [[French horn|horns]] in F, two [[Trumpet|trumpets]] in B-flat, [[timpani]], and [[String section|strings]].
