General Information

Navigation etc.

First public performance: 17 Nov 1850 in the kleine Musikvereinsaal Vienna by the Joseph Hellmesberger Sr. quartetJoseph Hellmesberger Sr. (1st violin), Matthias Durst (2nd violin) Carl Heissler (viola), Carl Schlesinger (cello) and Josef Stransky 2nd cello.
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.
