Rondino for Piano Quintet (Czerny)
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (September 2019) |
Carl Czerny's Rondino on a Theme of Auber for Piano Quintet, Op. 127 (French: Rondino sur un thême favori de l’opera Le maçon d’Auber. Pour le pianoforte avec accomp. de deux violons, alto et violoncelle, oeuv. 127) was published by Diabelli in 1826.[1] Czerny bases his Rondino on the Ronde - The Round of the Good Worker from Act 1 of Auber's opera, Le maçon.
Scored for a standard piano quintet (Piano, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello), the composition is what the composer would have dubbed a "brilliant" piece, intended to show off the skills of the piano soloist in a concert setting. An arrangement has also been made of the piece for Piano and String Orchestra.
Structure
[edit]The composition consists of a single multi-tempo movement divided into two sections, the F major Introduction (Marked: Andante) and the A major Rondino (Marked: Allegretto grazioso - Allegro vivace).
