Klavierquintett, op. 44 / Klavierquartett, op. 47

Album by Robert Schumann & Peter Rösel & Gewandhaus-Quartett

Klavierquintett, Op. 44 and Klavierquartett, Op. 47 are chamber music works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1842. Both pieces exemplify Schumann's Romantic chamber style, combining virtuosic and lyrical piano writing with dense string textures and formal invention, and they form part of the concentrated burst of chamber composition in his output that year which influenced the mid‑19th century German chamber repertoire.
