II. Andante cantabile
III. Vivace

A chamber work for piano, two violins, viola, cello and double bass by Russian composer Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), who is considered the father of Russian classical music.

Glinka composed another piano sextet in the same year (1832) - the Grand Sextet in E flat major. on the EMI album "Martha Argerich and Friends Live from the Lugano Festival, 2009", this recording is incorrectly labeled as the Grand Sextet.
