Piano Quintet No. 1 (Dvořák)
The Piano Quintet No. 1 in A major, Op. 5 (B. 28), is a piano quintet by Antonín Dvořák, scored for two violins, viola, cello and piano.[1] Composed in 1872 in Prague, it was premiered in November that year, by Vojtěch Hřímalý, Lederer, Josef Krehan, Alois Neruda, and Karel Slavkovský.[2] It was not published then and Dvořák lost the autograph over the years, having to ask a friend for a copy when he revised the work in 1887. The revised version was not performed until 1922, 18 years after his death.[2]
Structure
[edit]The composition consists of three movements:
- Allegro ma non troppo (A major)
- Andante sostenuto (F major)
- Finale. Allegro con brio (A major)
A typical performance takes approximately 28 minutes.[2]
