Quintet in A minor, Op. 3, H. 11 by Gustav Holst
Holst completed this work for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon and piano in 1896 at the age 22. The year before, Holst had met the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the two became lifelong friends. Holst would later say of his relationship with Vaughan Williams that:
“What one really learns from an Academy or College is not so much from one’s official teachers as from one’s fellow-students”
This quintet is comprised of four movements:
I. Allegro moderato
II. Scherzo. Allegro vivace
III. Adagio – Poco animato – Piu mosso – Tempo 1
IV. Allegro con brio
