Dvorák's 'String Quintet in G major? op. 77, had five movements when it was premiered on 18 March 1876. Its second movement was the 'Intermezzo? from his 'String Quartet in E minor? (1870). Later Dvorák removed this movement from the quintet, expanded it, and published it as a separate 'Notturno? for string orchestra op. 40. The 'Intermezzo? is included in its original version in the appendix of the score.This edition is based on the 'Complete Edition of the Works of Antonín Dvorák?, the principal source being the first edition of 1888, for which Dvorák subjected the work to revision.- Dvorák's famous quintet with double bass- New detailed foreword by Dvorák scholar David Beveridge (Eng/Cz/Ger)- Musical text based on the 'Complete Edition of the Works of Antonín Dvorák?

String Quintets op. 18 and 87-The genesis of Mendelssohn?s String quintets is closely connected to his friend Eduard Rietz and the latter?s brother Julius. Deeply affected by Eduard?s death in 1832 Mendelssohn exchanged the ?Minuetto?movement in his A major Quintet Op. 18 written six years previously for a newly composed adagio. It was in this form that the work was finally sent to the publisher. The Quintet in B flat major was onlypublished after Mendelssohn?s death; numerous unauthorized entries by Julius Rietz thus found their way into performance practice. An examination of the autograph allowed us to return the work to its original form thecommentary contains detailed information on this.

C'était à Madrid en 1771 que deux compositeurs simultanément 'découvert' et invente le quatuor à cordes comme genre musical nouveau: Luigi Boccherini et Gaetano Brunetti. Les quatuors à cordes du compositeur italien Antonio Capuzzi, d'autre part, sont probablement les seuls qui ont tous été créés en Italie. Comme les contributions de Mozart à ce genre, le Quintette en sol majeur est écrite pour deux violons, deux altos et violoncelle. Rédigé sous forme concertante, le travail permet à tous les joueurs ont leur mot à dire musicale, offrant à la fois solistes virtuoses chiffres et de nombreux solos mélodiques. Le travail montre Capuzzi du style personnel de musique de chambre, un vrai cinq volets de réglage qui semble parfois orchestre. Un atout précieux pour le répertoire quintette pour cordes - bon divertissement en jouant et en écoutant garanti! / 2 Violons, 2 Alto Et Violoncelle
