9780198166405: The Piano Quartet and Quintet: Style, Structure, and Scoring (Clarendon Paperbacks)

Synopsis

Designed as a companion volume to the author's earlier study, The Piano Trio, this book surveys the development of the piano quarlet and quintet from their relatively modest beginnings in the mid-eighteenth century to the present day. Developments during the first four decades of the nineteenth century resulted not only in Schubert's renowned `Trout' Quintet, but also in works of much brilliance by Dussek, Hummel, Weber, and others in which the piano predominates in a concerto-like role. Subsequently, Schumann's epoch-making quintet of 1842 initiated a broadly `symphonic' style, with large-scale structures and closely integrated textures, which was taken up by many later composers, including Brahms, Dvorák, César Frank, Fauré, and Elgar. The author also examines the numberous changes in the nature of the genres which have occurred in recent times, and gives special consideration to a number of works by leading 20th-century composers, in which `mixed' media are formed by combining wind instruments with the normal strings-and-piano ensembles.

Within his broad historical narrative Professor Smallman provides descriptive analyses of key works, many with music examples, and also comments perceptively on local trends and developments. His book is likely to be of interest to all those who are fascinated by this important repertoire - performers, students, and listeners, as well as the general reader.

Review

Smallman's writing style enlivens a topic that necessitated a fairly straightforward approach. Readers are likely to turn to this slender volume as a reference work. Chamber music performers will want to consult it for ideas on repertory. It is also a fine source for program notes for concert programs or compact disc album notes. The six-page bibliography provides ample material for further research.
