J. Brahms (1833-1897)
Quintet n. 1 in G major op. 111

28′ | Admission €10

In his perennial attempt to say goodbye to the composition (fortunately failed until the last attempt), Johannes Brahms thought of making his Quintet op. 111 his last piece, thus ending with the same opus number as Beethoven’s last Piano Sonata. It would have been a farewell full of energy, ardor and passionate hopes: in this Quintet, performed in Mantua by an ensemble of internationally renowned virtuosos, Brahms masterfully conducts a piece with an almost youthful impetus, with vague gypsy flavors and heated lyricism.
