Piano Quintet op. 34

Album by Johannes Brahms & Leipziger Streichquartett & Andreas Staier

Piano Quintet in F minor, Op.34 is a piano quintet by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1864 and revised in 1869. It blends a virtuosic piano part with rich, intertwining string textures, dense counterpoint and expansive Romantic harmonies, and marks a pivotal moment in Brahms's chamber output as he consolidated his mature compositional voice.
