String Quintet No. 5 (Mozart)
- String Quintet No. 5 (Mozart)
The String Quintet No. 5 in D major, K. 593 is written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, this work is a "viola quintet" in that is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).
Movements
The work is in standard four movement form:
*I. Larghetto - Allegro
*II. Adagio
*III. Menuetto: Allegro
*IV. Allegro
According to the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe [cite book|last=Mozart|first=Wolfgang Amadeus|coauthors=Ernst Fritz Schmid, ed.|title=Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke: in Verbindung mit die Mozartstädten, Augsburg, Salzburg und Wien: Werkausgabe in 20 Bänden. Serie VIII: Kammermusik. Band 19: Streichquintette. Kritischer Bericht|pages=74|url=http://dme.mozarteum.at/|isbn=3761859104|location=Kassel|publisher=Bärenreiter|date=1991] , the finale was printed, and known for some time, in an inauthentic edition, in which its main theme, originally a descending chromatic scale fragment, was replaced in most of its appearances in the movement by a more complicated zigzag ("Zickzackform") themelet.
