String Quintet in C major, D 956 / Rondo in A major for Violin and String Quartet, D 438

Album by Franz Schubert

String Quintet in C major, D. 956 and Rondo in A major for Violin and String Quartet, D. 438 are chamber music compositions by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1816 respectively. The Quintet is a late, expansive chamber work featuring rich textures, lyrical lines and the addition of a second cello that creates a deep sonority, representing one of Schubert's final major contributions to the chamber repertoire and an example of his mature Romantic writing; the earlier Rondo is a shorter, sprightlier piece for violin and string quartet that demonstrates his melodic inventiveness and early exploration of ensemble colour.
