Is it the clarinet of the oboe in the Arabian dance in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite?
The solo near the end of the movement is the oboe, but it does end with a lovely clarinet/tambourine duet.
Would need to know WHICH solo you reference: at letter "D" - near the end - there's a plaintive, mournful solo for English horn. The piece does end with interplay between the clarinet in its chalumaux register and tambourine, but I think the answer above - referencing the oboe - is actually incorrect: that is an English horn near the end of the movement, as per Tchaikovsky's original score of the entire ballet. (And I should know - I'm currently conducting the piece for at least the 10th time in concert!)
