Misc. Comments

The Quintet was to be Schubert’s last completed chamber work. In mid-October of 1828 – just a few weeks after having completed the Quintet – Schubert’s appetite disappeared. Weakened by tertiary syphilis and the toxic, mercury-based medications he was taking for the syphilis, Schubert took to his bed with a high, persistent fever, almost certainly caused by a bacterial typhoid infection. Schubert died at three o’clock in the afternoon on November 19, 1828. The String Quintet in C Major – scored for two violins, a viola, and two ‘cellos – is widely believed to be among the handful of greatest chamber works ever composed.


Date of publication- 1853 according to Deutsch ("Anfang 1853, Gestochen noch vor dem Ausscheiden Diabellis aus dem Verlag 1851".)

Composition completed - 1828 September or October. It is not certain, I gather, that it was completed before the B-flat piano sonata. It was his last completed (multi-instrument) chamber work.
