Dvorak - Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 5

The composer finished the Quintet in A major for two violins, viola, cello and piano op. 5 in 1872. It thus comes from a period in which Dvorak, after a phase of passionate interest in the music of German neo-romanticism, was gradually moving towards a quieter, more personal expression reached. The original version of the quintet from 1872 has been lost. The Critical Edition presents this work from Dvorak's youth in its final form, given by the composer after a thorough revision 15 years later when he significantly reduced his original score. The volume is part of the first complete critical edition of the works of A. Dvorak.
