A STRING QUARTET + 1

SCHUMANN: PIANO QUINTET IN E-FLAT, OP. 44, UN POCO LARGAMENTE

In this slow movement in 2/2, Bob stole from Beethoven, whose Symphony #3 in E-flat featured a funeral march in this key as its slow movement. Unlike Beethoven, Schumann decided to use an A-B-A-C-A format.

The “B” section is in C Major, and the “A” section returns briefly before an agitato “C” section in F minor. The agitation slows down for a quiet resolution in F Major.

The C minor material returns for a quiet end in C Major.
