String Quintet No. 3 (Dvořák)
- String Quintet No. 3 (Dvořák)
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:
#"Allegro non tanto"
#"Allegro vivo"
#"Larghetto"
#"Finale. Allegro giusto"
