Quick Note

This quintet is Mozart's arrangement of his Serenade No. 12 for winds, showcasing his exceptional ability to adapt compositions across different instrumental ensembles.

Listen for the emotional depth and intensity in the opening movement, where Mozart employs chromatic harmonies and expressive melodies to create a sense of drama and pathos. Notice the rhythmic vitality and playful exchanges between the instruments. 

Antonín Dvořák

(1841–1904)

Selections from Cypresses (Echo of Songs) for String Quartet, B. 152

Quick Note

Brahms intended this work to be his last piece of music, though he later produced a number of piano pieces and the two sonatas for clarinet or viola and piano.

Listen for the interplay of the two violins and two violas, supported by the cello's robust foundation.
