String Quintet No. 3 (Dvořák)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The String Quintet in E-flat major, op. 97, B. 180, was composed by Antonín Dvořák during the summer he spent in Spillville, Iowa in 1893. It was completed in just over a month, immediately after he wrote his American String Quartet. Like the Quartet, the Quintet finely captures the inflection of Dvořák's Bohemian idiom with American inspirations.

The String Quintet consists of four movements:

  1. Allegro non tanto
  2. Allegro vivo
  3. Larghetto
  4. Finale. Allegro giusto
