The Piano and Wind Quintets of Mozart and Beethoven: Reception and Relationship

Zajkowski, Roberta

Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
The unusual instrumentation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Quintet, K. 452, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Quintet, op. 16, has led many scholars to consider these two works together. Recent scholarship, however, has shed new light on the history of these two works and their relationship to one another. The evidence will show that while Beethoven almost certainly based his Quintet on Mozart’s Quintet, the true relationship between the two is more complicated than scholars used to think. Moreover, recent scholarship has argued for the canonic status of Mozart's Quintet and the intrinsic worth of Beethoven's.
