Bawoo 2016. 3. 19. 22:04



The Quintettsatz in D minor, Hess 40, is an incomplete composition for string quintet with two violas by Ludwig van Beethoven. Comprising a completed prelude and an incomplete fugue, it was composed in 1817 around the same time as the Fugue for String Quartet in D major, Op. 137

 

Background

From surviving manuscripts, it appears that Beethoven first started work on the quintet around 1815, with sketches of the fugue being found amongst sketches for the Ninth Symphony.[1] [2] It is unclear at this time if Beethoven completed the work.

Structure

The composition, which takes around three minutes to perform, is structured as a single movement marked Adagio - Allegro.
