Quintessentially in "Cinq" - Brahms on the Bluff
Two delightful string quintets date from the composer's later years, while the dark and brooding Piano Quartet no. 3 was written when Brahms was in youthful, deep despair over his love for Clara Schumann. Incomplete and held from publication for many years, Brahms returned to and completed it as an older, sadder and wiser man.
