String Quintet, op. 77
Album by Antonín Dvořák & Vlachovo kvarteto Praha & Jakub Waldmann
String Quintet, Op.77 is a chamber work by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1875. The piece exemplifies Romantic chamber music through lyrical melodies, rich harmonic textures and echoes of Bohemian folk idioms, and it sits in Dvořák's early-to-mid career as a work showing his developing national style that would inform his later orchestral compositions.
