Written for his colleague Janos Starker David Baker's Quintet (also called the Two Cello Quintet) was premiered at Indiana University's Eva Janzer Memorial Concert. The Bloomington press wrote of the performance: a romantic work...eclectic and conservative but in this instance (Baker's) writing had a special sense of urgency that grabbed one's attention and kept it focused on the piece.

The String Quintet in E-flat major Op.97 (with two Violas) is the third work Dvo ák composed during his stay in America. ?This quintet may be said in three of its movements to show the influence of American life and American music upon the composer? wrote the American music critic Henry Krehbiel on 7 January 1894. The use of particular melodic and rhythmic elements in his American compositions as typically found in Afro-American gospels strengthened the gathering conception considering Dvo ák to be the founder of an American national style of music. The String Quintet in E-flat major was premiered on 12 January 1894 at the Carnegie Halland was published shortly afterwards in score and parts by Simrock.
