Schumann and the Romantic piano quintet

In the middle of the 19th century,

's Piano Quintet in E major, Op. 44 (1842), composed for piano with string quartet, helped make that combination of instruments the default model for the piano quintet. Schumann's choice of scoring reflected developments in musical performance and instrumental design. By midcentury, the

was regarded as the most prestigious and important chamber music genre, while advances in the design of the

had expanded its power and dynamic range. Bringing the piano and string quartet together, Schumann's piano quintet took full advantage of the expressive possibilities of these forces in combination, alternating conversational passages between the five instruments with passages in which the combined forces of the strings are massed against the piano. In Schumann's hands, the piano quintet became a genre "suspended between private and public spheres" alternating between "quasi-symphonic and more properly chamber-like elements"—well suited to an era when chamber music was increasingly being performed in large concert halls rather than at private gatherings in intimate spaces. Schumann's quintet helped establish the piano quintet as a significant, and quintessentially Romantic, chamber music genre.Stowell, Robin ''The Cambridge Companion to the String Quartet'', pp. 323–324. It was immediately acclaimed and widely imitated. Smallman, Basil. ''The Piano Quartet and Quintet: Style, Structure, and Scoring'', p. 53.
