No 1 was written in 1826, soon after the completion of the Octet and E major Piano Sonata and before the Overture to 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', when Mendelssohn was still only seventeen. He later substituted a slow movement in memory of his friend the violinist Eduard Rietz, and it was this revised version of the Quintet that was published in Bonn the same year and is recorded here.\\r\u003cbr\u003eQuintet No 2 dates from 1845 (when Mendelssohn was still only thirty-six), a year before his triumphant success with Elijah in Birmingham and just two years prior to his premature death.\u003cp\u003eString Quintet No 1 in A major Op 18\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eString Quintet No 2 in B flat major Op 87\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55144802681217,"sku":"769492","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61xsFV5a9sL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767761496","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/769492","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
