Brahms was very fond of Switzerland, particularly of Thun and the region around its lake, often finding musical inspiration on his long hikes here.

Johannes Brahms' Clarinet Quintet in B Minor, Op. 115, was written in 1891 for the clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld. It is scored for clarinet in A and string quartet.

When Brahms began composing his clarinet quintet, only a few works had been written for this type of ensemble. Examples of clarinet quintets include those by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Anton Reicha, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Sigismund von Neukomm, Carl Maria von Weber, Franz Krommer, Alexander Glazunov, Heinrich Baermann and Thomas Täglichsbeck. The Brahms quintet has parallels with the Mozart quintet, particularly in form.
