Rondino for Piano Quintet (Czerny)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Czerny's Rondino on a Theme of Auber for Piano Quintet, Op. 127 (French: Rondino sur un thême favori de l’opera Le maçon d’Auber. Pour le pianoforte avec accomp. de deux violons, alto et violoncelle, oeuv. 127) was published by Diabelli around 1826.[1] Scored for a standard piano quintet (Piano, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello), the composition is what the composer would have dubbed a "brilliant" piece, intended to show off the skills of the piano soloist in a concert setting.

Structure[edit]

The composition consists of a single multi-tempo movement divided into two sections, the F major Introduction (Marked: Andante) and the A major Rondino (Marked: Allegretto grazioso - Allegro vivace).
