AA ee cc ee css BCRUIIIEE This Quintet is the first important work of its kind. Many composers, notably Mozart, had tried their hand at the piano quartet, but with the exception of Lachner, none appears to have thought of using the far richer combination of string quartet with piano. Schumann’s Quintet is his most successful large-scale composition and one of the greatest of all his works. It has a freshness, vigour, and clarity of design that he rarely equalled in other works of similar proportions. 8.28 Elena Gerhardt (mezzoe soprano), "Zum Schluss" .. Schumann " Fruhlingsnacht" .
