String Quintet No. 1 (Brahms)

Johannes Brahms' String Quintet No. 1 in F major, Op. 88, was composed in 1882 in the spa town of Bad Ischl, Upper Austria, and published by the firm of Fritz Simrock.^[1] It was first performed at a chamber music evening in Frankfurt on 29 December 1882.

It is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet with a second viola. Brahms composed the work in three movements:

I. Allegro non troppo ma con brio

II. Grave ed appassionato – Allegretto vivace – Tempo I – Presto – Tempo I

III. Allegro energico – Presto

Performed by Roxana Pavel Goldstein, Elizabeth Choi, violins; Elias Goldstein, Sally Chisholm, violas; Jocelyn Butler, cello

Allegro non troppo ma con brio
In sonata form. The first subject group is in F major, while the second is in A major, the first of the "pervasive mediant relationships" in this work.^[1]
Grave ed appassionato – Allegretto vivace – Tempo I – Presto – Tempo I
In double variation form. The first theme is based on a sarabande Brahms wrote in 1854, while the second theme is based on a gavotte that he wrote in the same year. The movement starts in C♯ major, and ends in A major, another mediant relationship.^[1]
Allegro energico – Presto
In a fusion of sonata and contrapuntal forms. The final key of the previous movement, A major, and the key of this movement, F major, represent another mediant relationship.^[1]

Brahms described the quintet to his friend Clara Schumann as "one of finest works" and told Simrock, "You have never before had such a beautiful work from me."^[1]
