- "Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Quintet for piano, flute, clarinet, horn and bassoon was written in 1876 for a chamber music competition. It was not a successful entry, losing out to a composition by Czech composer Eduard Napravník. The Quintet has three movements; the first, Allegro con brio, is 'in the classical style of Beethoven' according to the composer. Conversely, its style is very different from every other work of Rimsky-Korsakov. The second, Andante, in contrast, is the direct product of Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Russianness'. It opens with a horn melody accompanied with piano chords. Together, the winds create an atmosphere tinged with melancholy, while the piano accompanies for most of the time. The third, Rondo, Allegretto vivace, begins as a dance tune that gradually becomes more serious until the rhythm stops altogether. After a complicated section for solo piano, the dance rhythm of the beginning is reintroduced for the closing pages."

Rimsky-Korsakov wrote: "After I had completed the String Sextet, I took it into my head to write a Quintet for Piano and Winds for the same competition. I composed the Quintet in three movements. The First Movement, Allegro con brio, in the classic style of Beethoven. The Second Movement, Andante, contained a good fugue for the wind instruments with a very free accompaniment in the piano. In the finale, Allegretto vivace, I wrote in rondo form. Of interest is the middle section where I wrote cadenzas for the flute, the clarinet and the horn to be played in turns. Each was in the character of the instrument and each was interrupted by the bassoon entering by octave leaps...And what was the fate of my Sextet and Quintet? The jury awarded the prize to Napravnik for his Trio. My Sextet received an honorable mention, but my Quintet and every other work submitted by all of the other composers were disgarded without comment. I heard later that Napravnik had been lucky to have had a pianist assigned to his trio who was a superb sight reader and thus had performed his trio beautifully, whereas my Quintet was ruined by another pianist who could not sight read nor make heads or tails of it. Had my Quintet been fortunate in the pianist assigned to it, I am sure it would have attracted the jury's attention."
Maybe he would have had beeter luck if he hadn't made the piano part so insanely difficult. Nevermind sight reading it. I would struggle to play it even after a month of practicing.
I always found it unfair that the winds had so much easier parts compared to the piano.
Beautiful piece nonetheless. I've been enjoying it for 30 years now.
Anyway, that prize stuff is worthless. Through the centuries, a lot of composers has been prized for boring music, while the ones that are renowned today struggled to catch the attention of academics.
There aren’t many pianists who can play the first movement ostinato pattern without hurting their hands. I played this piece years ago a couple of times and was blessed with a tremendous pianist.
It's merciful in that that he doesn't have the pianist do it for long. Nothing like how torturous Erlkonig is.
yeah my pinky hurts
Really enjoy this interpretation!
Grande esecuzione💥💥💥
Nice
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
im currently working on the piano part for this and i will not let our group play it this fast
Final movement.
When did Rimsky visit the Grand Canyon?
Sounds more like a Haydn piece at times.
