Felix Draeseke's Quintet for Piano, Strings and Horn in B-flat major, Op. 48, was composed in 1888 and published a year later by Kistner (Leipzig). It was dedicated to Adolph Stern.
Scoring and structure
[edit]The work is scored for piano, violin, viola, cello and horn in F. It is structured in four movements:
- Allegro con brio, ma non troppo vivace
- Andante grave
- Scherzo: Presto leggiero
- Finale: Allegro con brio – Allegro vivace e leggiero
It was performed 29 June 1889 in Wiesbaden[1] if not necessarily premiered then.
Recordings
[edit]In 2017, Tyxart Records released a recording of the Quintet paired with the Sonata for Clarinet and Piano along with other chamber works for horn.[2] There are at least two other recordings as of 2017, on Musikproduktion Dabringhaus und Grimm coupled with a work by Robert Schumann[3] and another on Classic Produktion Osnabrück (also released in 2017).[4]
