Meeting of the Pražák Quartet and Jan Talich on the viola through two major string quintets. First Mozart’s Quintet No. 4, completed on 16 May 1787 and one of the most important work in the chamber music production of its author. Written in G minor, it is imbued with anguish and inner torment which border on the tragic.
Then for the only great work of chamber music by Anton Bruckner, his String Quintet, finished in July 1879. It was Josef Hellmesberger, violinist, composer, pedagogue and Bruckner’s superior who asked him to compose a string quartet. Instead, Bruckner composed a quintet, but on examining the score Hellmesberger found the scherzo too difficult for the performers; Bruckner then composed a less demanding Intermezzo, in the same key, as an alternative to the scherzo. The great symphonist won a resounding success with the public with his quintet; a mine of musical ideas is deployed there as well for the polyphony, the work of the thematic motifs, the colors and the voices of the various instruments with audacious modulations, reversals of themes and changes in half tones, making this score “one of the most idiosyncratic, yet profound chamber music works since Beethoven” according to Robert Simpson.
