Description

Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44

for Two Violins, Viola, Cello and Piano

This composition cost Robert Schumann his sleep. In October 1842, when he had finished his piano quintet in a short period of time, he was physically and emotionally drained. The work in no way reflects this, however; quite the contrary: "Full of strength and freshness," said Clara Schumann of the new composition, as well as extremely brilliant and effective. Even Richard Wagner added his voice to the great wave of admiration.Op. 44 soon became one of Schumann's most successful compositions, and today is still a jewel in chamber music literature.

If this quintet reminds one of a piano concerto with string quartet at times, this is explained by the fact that it was intended for Clara's repertoire and was dedicated to her.
