Piano Quintet Op. 44 / Piano Quartet Op. 47
Album by Robert Schumann & Emerson String Quartet & Menahem Pressler
Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44, and Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47 are chamber music works by German composer Robert Schumann, both composed in 1842. Both works exemplify Schumann's Romantic-era chamber style, featuring expressive piano writing paired with richly woven string textures, and they represent a concentrated turn to chamber music in his output that year that helped shape his contribution to the 19th-century chamber repertoire.
First released: 2nd October 1995
