Yes, thia sounded like teenage Mozart to start with, still pretty good, but got even better as it went along. Earlier part of his life coincided with Mozart.

Also, yet another peripatetic musician, following the work, as musicians seem to have done from middle ages to today!

I agree with Helene. Clear influence of Mozart. Nothing wrong with that.

This grew on me as it went on. At first it was too similar to Mozart pieces to be remarkable but then the clarinet came to play & goodness me, that was superb playing. I looked up Miles Merrill afterwards to see what other pieces he has on offer. I also like videos that show the musical score just to reiterate how hard it is to play. Thank you Andrew.
