| Added by alfredo17, 30 May 2021 Heinrich Maria Romberg (1802 -1859) was a member of a famous family of musicians. He was the son of the violinist and composer Andreas Romberg and the nephew of the famous cellist and composer Bernhard Romberg. Heinrich Romberg worked as violinist in Paris and St. Petersburg and there also as opera conductor. Most of his compositions feature the violin. The actual quintet was composed in 1840. The title ‘Schweizerischer Kuhreigen’ means pastoral songs used to attract the cows to be milked. The compositions of several musicians are based on such pastoral songs. The autograph of the quintet is preserved in the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky (Signature ND VI 3361h Nr. 2) in single parts. I am indebted to the director of this library for the permission for publication. | |||
