Piano Quintet, op. 44 / Piano Quartet, op. 47

Album by Robert Schumann & Costantino Catena & Quartetto Savinio

The Piano Quintet, Op. 44 and Piano Quartet, Op. 47 are chamber works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1842. Both pieces exemplify Romantic-era chamber music with expressive piano writing intertwined with rich string textures, and they originate from Schumann's concentrated chamber-music period of 1842 when he turned his attention to intimate instrumental forms that influenced later Romantic chamber repertoire.
