	Quintet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some modern bands there are quintets formed from the same family of instruments with various voices, as an all brass ensemble, or all saxophones, in soprano, alto, baritone, and bass, and sometimes double bass.
		Schubert: piano quintet in A major, D.667 (1819), popularely known as the 'Trout Quintet', based on his Lied "Die Forelle" ("the trout"); this piece in part inspired future efforts in the composition of piano quintets, especially those of Schumann and Dvorak.
		Dvorak: piano quintets in A, op.5 (1872), and op.

	String quintet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A string quintet is an ensemble of five string instrument players or a piece written for such a combination.
		Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart pioneered writing for a string quartet augmented by a second viola, and one outstanding masterpiece for the two-cello quintet is Franz Schubert's Quintet in C major.
		It is interesting to note that some composers who wrote well-known series of string quartets, such as Joseph Haydn, Béla Bartók, Paul Hindemith, and Dmitri Shostakovich, never composed a string quintet.

	Sleeve Notes - Schubert: String Quintet & String Trio
		Although Schubert's immediate inspiration for the work is uncertain, it is known that during this time he took part (as violist) in a private performance of Beethoven's late C sharp minor Quartet Op 131 which, according to an acquaintance, sent him 'into such transports of delight and enthusiasm that all feared for him'.
		This gave Schubert the benefit of an added bass instrument, allowing him greater freedom to explore the Iyrical potential of the cello as well as providing him with potentially richer middle register textures, as in the Adagio where the main theme is played by the second violin, viola and first cello.
		Although the String Quintet is arguably Schubert's finest chamber work, it hardly detracts from his other wide and varied achievements within the same sphere, including two full-scale piano trios, the celebrated Octet and 'Trout' Piano Quintet, somc fifteen string quartets, and a substantial quantity of music for piano-accompanied instruments and piano duet.

	How to Extend Your Classical CD Collection
		Schubert's great String Quintet in C, scored for two violins, viola and two cellos, unlike the quintets of Mozart, which use two violas and one cello, is among the finest works in chamber-music repertoire.
		It represents the height of Schubert's achievement and was completed, it seems, two months before his death in 1828, at the age of 31.
		The String Trio was written some eleven years earlier, in 1817, a year that saw the usual spate of songs and a number of piano sonatas.

	Program Notes
		Schubert's letters and activities for the remaining five years thus present a curious juxtaposition of great expectations for a compositional future and his apparent resignation to a shortened life.
		Schubert clearly believed that his time was limited and it is therefore not unreasonable to think he consciously embarked on a final creative stage, one customarily associated with the autumnal wisdom of later years, when only in his mid-20s.
		STRING QUINTET IN C MAJOR, D. By age 23, Schubert had composed some two-thirds of his oeuvre, but he remained virtually unknown to the Viennese public until a series of important performances and publications that began around 1821, mostly of songs and domestic music.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Schubert Biography
		Schubert expanded the sense of musical time with his "heavenly length" (Schumann's remark on his discovery of the Great Symphony #9 in C Major in the closet of Schubert's brother), and he is also one of the first composers to fully explore the possibilities of the lyric miniature.
		Schubert, who is known as one of the greatest melodists, was equally a master of harmonic miracles, creating breathtaking surprises with the imaginative reharmonization of a single note.
		Schubert's love life is also mysterious, but he probably contracted syphilis from a servant girl when he was teaching the Esterhazy girls one summer at their estate.

	Schubert: 'Trout' Quintet & String Trios
		The young Schubert, inspired by the surroundings of a summer trip in the Austrian Alps, decided to use material from his earlier song ‘Die Forelle’ (’The Trout’, D550) as the basis for the beautiful fourth movement of his Quintet.
		Schubert's eternally singing lines are deceptively simple sounding, but are full of subtleties; similarly, while the Leopold Trio et al are always spot-on technically, they also sound like a group of friends revelling in making music for themselves.
		That's true, too, in the Trout Quintet where they are joined by the solid, anchoring tone of bassist Graham Mitchell and, of course, the inimitable Paul Lewis, undoubtedly one of the finest younger Schubert pianists in the world' (Classic FM Magazine)

	The Other Great C-major
		Schubert was still a young man, only thirty years old, when Beethoven died, and he himself had only one more year to live.
		Whether Schubert's allusion to On the River is conscious or not, the hypnotic, static, almost emotionless nostalgia of the Adagio's first part gives way to what violist Allan George called "the nightmare of reality" in the second, which is in the Neapolitan key of F minor.
		Schubert received his training in string playing at a time when the Classical principle of low sharps and high flats was still valid.

		Schubert achieves transcendence in first movement of the quintet, where, after a stormy opening, the achingly beautiful second theme settles into tranquility.
		The St. Lawrence String Quartet, joined by cellist David Finckel for the Schubert, gave impeccable and deeply moving performances, full of illuminating detail but always delineating the whole splendidly.
		They realized every mood encompassed by the immense emotional terrain of the quartet and quintet, from the charm of the quartet’s first movement to its serene third movement to the droll pizzicato near the end of the finale, and in the torrent of shifting moods in the Schubert.

	INKPOT :: The Australian String Quartet : "Take Flight" ::
		Schubert’s two string quintets, curiously, come at opposite ends of his compositional career: the first is a fourteen-year-old’s quintet-overture in C minor (with double violas), while the second is a thirty-one-year-old’s swan song and a magnum opus in chamber music.
		The crux of Schubert’s stroke of genius and simplicity here was the emancipation of the viola and placing it between the two antiphonal choirs of paired violins and cellos.
		Schubert could not have failed to appreciate the significance of this role: in the family Schubertiads (pictured above), he would play the viola while his brothers played the violins and his father the cello.

	In the mood for Bach
		Schubert String Quintet is one of the noblest and most elevated examples of pure and direct communication with the Divine through the medium of instrumental music.
		And yet an intimate experince of the Quintet tends to draw us inexorably to the conclusion that, having created this masterpiece, he realised the greatest heights, and we wonder whether he could ever have surpassed himself had he lived a normal life span.
		Schubert lets us come out of it gradually, on our own terms, as if he knows that any more abrupt transition would be shattering to our psyches.

	Greg Sandow -- Introducing String Quartets
		Entire families used to play string instruments in those days, and it's easy to imagine an 18th century housewife calling out to her husband as he left for work: "On your way back, Hermann, buy a new string quartet for us and the girls."
		String quartets, first of all, are long-term propositions, just like the most successful bands.
		It's true -- the opening theme sings and soars like a bird, so they called this string quartet "the lark." Which might sound silly to us, but this was the 18th century, and in any case there's nothing silly about Haydn's score.

	The Hollywood String Quartet, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Hindemith: String Quartet # 3 in C, Op.
		Often heard in a subsequent arrangement for full string orchestra (of which the most vital performance remains Mitropolous's on Columbia LP MS-6006), the original 1898 sextet version emphasizes the vigorous shift of mood, but, as played here by the Hollywood (and approved by the composer) embedded in an continuous flow of emotion.
		But with Testament's lovely sound (marred only by a hint of phase distortion in the Schubert and an overall brightness easily tamed by tone controls), it is perhaps better that these gems are presented with the tender loving care of a committed independent than by the bean-counters of the EMI conglomerate.

		By far the most abundant form is the string quartet, but other popular chamber music ensembles are piano and strings, more than four strings, or a solo instrument with piano accompaniment.
		The quintet is full of captivating melodies and surprising harmonic twists, and even though it is nearly an hour long it still feels too short.
		Whereas in the concerto the clarinet is the focus of attention, in the quintet the woodwind takes on a role equivalent to that of the strings, and the piece plays out as a discourse among five equals.

		Schubert's String Quintet in C Major is one of the pinnacles of the chamber-music repertory, the most perfect match of medium (five strings with two cellos rather than the pair of violas that had been Mozart's preference) with lyrical substance.
		The piece has long carried with it an aura of unworldliness, a special status that it was accorded largely as the result of one recording.
		The Takacs run the Lindsays pretty close, but it is their version with cellist Douglas Cummings, almost conversational in its exchanges and absolutely coherent in its structural and expressive concerns, that edges ahead.
