Dohnányi was one of Europe's most brilliant pianists. He contributed to rebuilding
the musical life of Budapest with decades of concert programs that he
commissioned, conducted and performed. He was one of the first famous pianists
to perform chamber music extensively and, as a composer, Dohnányi produced
an excellent body of chamber music, including his most famous works that are
now part of the standard repertoire: the Piano Quintet No. 1 in C minor and the
Serenade for String Trio Op. 10.
Béla Bartók's Piano Quintet is a young, little-known and little-performed work by
the composer. Béla Bartók, then in his twenties, was experimenting with a
musical language capable of expressing his national identity, however, in those
years, his music still reflected the influence of other European composers.
