Klavierquintett A-Dur op. 81 (Klavírní kvintet A dur op. 81): Partitur und Stimmen

The Piano Quintet in A major op. 81 was written in 1887 during some productive weeks in Vysoká, the summer home of Dvo ák, when the composer had already achieved international success and had five trips to England behind him. Dvo ák had already written a quintet (also with two violins) in the summer of 1872, and so the Piano Quintet op. 81 is his second composition in this key and composition. The Opus 81 has long been one of the internationally most performed chamber music works and owes its fame, as it is already in a critique of the premiere in January 1888, its fresh thematic material and the impressive depth of the processing. It is not possible to prefer one sentence over the other, for the fiery Allegro and the poetic Dumka are as much in the lead as the impetuous Furiant and the happy finale. That Dvo ák's piece makes a beautiful sound impression and contains interesting and original instrumental effects of large numbers, is undoubted. The present edition is based on the complete edition of the works Antonín Dvo áks. The main source was the first edition of Simrock published in 1888, which was created with the collaboration of the composer and was closely compared with the autograph.
