[net.music.classical] Wanted: name of classical piece in M*A*S*H

tjb@dciem.UUCP (Tim Bowden) (01/31/85)

A friend wants help in identifying the classical piece used in
the last episode of the TV show M*A*S*H (the special one).
She is not musically literate, and I have not seen the show,
so we need help. She says it was played (towards the end) by
a group of Chinese POW's who did not otherwise play Western music.
If you have seen the show and can identify the piece, reply to me
at the USENET address below.

	I think that the piece used was Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.
	I cannot remember the K. number, but I have a nice old
	performance of on a London "ffrr" recording with R.
	Boyndge (I never can spell that guy's name :-) and the 
	English Chamber Orchestra.

I understand a lot of people taped the final episode of MASH.  If so,
I believe Major Winchester mentions the name of the piece a couple
of times, so please view again and help out by posting.  Thanks.

It is Richard Bonynge, I  
It is Richard Bonynge, I think.

IIt is "Richard Bonynge", by the way.
