Dvorak's Piano Quintet was written in 1887. It is one of the finest of his chamber works: 'an absolute revelation', says Ottokar Sourek, 'of the personality of Dvorak, a man apparently locked within himself, moving only in the sphere of divine beauty, now plunged in gloomy meditation, his vision lost in eternity; now smiling brightly, bubbling over with happiness and breaking forth in outbursts of the frankest joy. Such a spirit was Dvorak, and thus he appears in this quintet-one of the freshest and most characteristic creations of his genius'. The composer makes brilliant use of the 'Furiant', a Bohemian dance, in the scherzo movement.
