about

In these years of 1837-1842, Mendelssohn was at the height of his humanist glory, concurrently violinist, violist, pianist, composer, conductor (of the Gewandhaus in Leipzig), still a painter in his already too-rare spare time, and a newlywed. “At the moment, everything comes so easily and so nicely under my pen”, such as the Opus 44 Quartets with their radiant, virtuoso allegros and slow movements tinged with nostalgia - irresistible ‘songs without words’ for strings. The Schumann’s Opus 41 String Quartets and Piano Quintet are considered as finest compositions and major works of nineteenth-century chamber music. This quintet revolutionized the instrumentation and musical character of the piano quintet and established it as a quintessentially romantic genre, which was to serve as the model, for more than one generation, that of Brahms, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, and Franck.
