Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. La composition du Quintette lui fait passer des nuits blanches: lorsque Schumann, en très peu de temps, achève en 1842 le Quintette pour piano et cordes, il est physiquement et mentalement à bout de forces. L’oeuvre cependant ne laisse rien paraître des efforts du compositeur, bien au contraire. Selon Clara Schumann, cette nouvelle oeuvre est «pleine de vigueur et de fraîcheur» et aussi «des plus brillantes et impressionnantes». Même Wagner se joint à l’approbation générale. L’opus 44 se range ainsi rapidement au rang des compositions les plus populaires de Schumann et constitue aujourd’hui encore un joyau de la littérature de musique de chambre. Si le Quintette rappelle enpartie un concerto pour piano avec orchestre dans les dimensions d’un quatuor à cordes, c’est qu’il était destiné au répertoire de Clara. L’oeuvre est d’ailleurs aussi dédiée à la pianiste virtuose. ? / Partition brochée / Date parution : 1905-06-06/ Répertoire / Quintette avec Piano
