I still remember the first time I heard this melody, I was simply struck. It came out of nowhere it seemed and it was simply breathtaking. Even for Schubert's standards, and what I have come to expect from him, it was miraculous. I remember repeating only that section 10-15 times before moving on. Schubert was truly one of a kind and when I listen to him, I realize more strongly than I do with other composers, that after all, the essence and joy of music lies in a great melody more than anything else.

I often wonder if Schubert's song-writing lead him to think of C major and C minor as "close." But this minor third modulation was something he was doing for much of his composition career - the second movement of his fifth symphony, written when he was 19, modulates from E flat to G flat.

@@caterscarrots3407 Plenty of composers did so before Schubert, but Schubert did it instinctively more than most because he wrote so much for the human voice. The violin or piano can "easily" change from C major to A minor, without much change in the sound quality. The voice has a narrow range, and even inside its range, the qualities of the notes changes radically. Schubert uses the parallel minor/major so much, he seems to have literally blurred the line. It is why he sees C major and E flat major as relatively close keys. It seems odd to attribute this to Beethoven, rather something that was visible in Schubert's work from when he was 18. It didn't get to the extremes of this G major string quartet until he was a decade or so older, but it was part of his musical instinct far earlier. Attributing it to Beethoven seems to ignore that Beethoven didn't do this first, nor the fact that Beethoven never took it to the extreme that Schubert did.

It was just after when Schubert heard one of Beethoven's late quartets that he composed this quintet. It was reported that many in the audience couldn't grasp the ideas behind Beethoven's latest masterpiece. Schubert, on the other hand, walked home in silence, obviously impressed with the new music. I always felt that this quintet was the most modern sounding of Schubert's works and attribute this somewhat to Beethoven's influence. The main difference between Beethoven's late works and Schubert's is the point that you make, the "tunefulness." This quintet is one of my all time favorites. The 2nd movement was chosen by Arthur Rubinstein to be played at his funeral.

I have seen a lot of videos of this kind but this time I would mention two exclusive points. first, the duration of musical fragments - they are just great! they are long enough to feel the full picture and they also include some bars before and after the essential ones, this is good for being prepared to the considered musical thought. also, they may repeat some material so you don't have to relisten to the music to get what was meant. second, the quality of selected performances, they are brilliant! quintets easily may sound a little wavy-noisy because of some lack of synchronization between musicians' vibrating, here the sound is just perfect. (of course, this is not the only component of a good perfomance.) thank you for the video!

Thanks so much for putting together this. I would hope also to connect this C major string quintet with the sonata in A major, D. 959. A lot of things are closely related. Especially the "signpost" shared by both pieces. I just recently realized how the "signpost" in the 1st movement of D. 959 are the motivic pieces from the final gorgeous melodies of the 4th movement, which was already composed in years before in D. 537 2nd movement. Something also similar in this quintet where the the first two lines suggest everything that comes later. The connections, the "insistence" quality, the zest for life but also the tragic moments from both D. 959 2nd movement and this D. 956 2nd movement just made me want to cry...

The presentation is outstanding in every respect, and enhances the brilliant and incisive analysis of this magnificent piece. I particularly enjoyed the wider references to other composers which placed both Schubert and the Quintet in a proper and meaningful context (the honourable mention for Boccherini was particularly apt). A sincere thank you Richard for the time, thought, and work put into these amazing videos which are clearly appreciated so much worldwide. PS. The only small point I would dare to mention is that in the rest of the English-speaking world outside America, the German/American-English 16th note - and similar - is not understood at all, and it might be worth just saying ‘16th note or semiquaver’ (even if only the first time); the same goes for those listening whose first language is one of the major European languages like Italian, French, and Spanish, none of whom use the mathematical fraction naming system of notes.

@@Richard.Atkinson Thank you; the main problem for English speakers outside America is that the whole note - 4 beats in American-English - is in fact only a semibreve (ie half) in English (and Italian, French, Spanish and others); the whole note is a breve (8 beats) which renders the entire German/American-English system meaningless as the whole note means something entirely different in the two systems - hence the confusion. I had to stop the video to translate (musically I think in English and Italian). The traditional English usage is more familiar worldwide than the German/American-English fraction system; I’m very conscious though that this is rather petty given the fantastic video to which we have just been treated, but simply wished to raise awareness of the point.

The violin plays the main melody, then the cello echos the melody of the violin, which begins to play a hauntingly beautiful melody, which I imagine is a musical depiction of someone crying about a lost love, crying about someone very important in their life. If you haven't watched the movie A Heart in Winter (1992), I would highly recommend doing so, at least the scene where Camille Kessler and her accompaniments play that segment (at the 27 minute mark).

One tiny interesting remark: the double viola quintet is "traditional" cause it goes back to the austrian baroque quintet texture (cf. the resp. works of Schmelzer, Biber, Muffat, Weichlein, Fux, Tuma, Werner). In the baroque this texture was of course augmented with the basso continuo, but the string writing is no different and builds the roots for the classical string quartets and quintets.

I think there is a clear Beethoven reference in this "sublime melody", it appears in the developement of first movement of Beethoven's 4th symphony. Very very similar.

First piece that comes to mind for me when I hear "mediant key relation" and "three key exposition" in the same paragraph? Beethoven Pathetique Sonata first movement with the second theme in Eb minor! only to then lead into a third theme in Eb major. I find the fact that the second theme is in a minor key in Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata to be quite striking cause that's atypical for first movements. For final movements in sonata form of minor key sonatas, minor key second theme is common(both of Beethoven's F minor sonatas have C minor second themes in their finales, the minor dominant), but first movements? Very unusual, for the time anyway. Probably why the Pathetique Sonata exposition is a 3 key exposition and not 2 key. But yeah, interesting how different composers have very different takes on the same thing, a 3 key exposition. From Mozart's little bridge of a third key between 2 longer themes to Beethoven's 3 equally long themes in 3 keys to this Schubert piece, all very different and yet the same concept is behind all 3, using the mediant relation to bridge between the 2 typical keys.

I know many musicians, including wind players and pianists, who simply put the Schubert C major quintet as the finest piece of non-quartet chamber music ever. I am among them.
