about

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed his Quintet for guitar and strings in less than a month early in 1950, in response to a request for a chamber work for Segovia to play for the Music Guild of Los Angeles. Segovia premiered the work here a year later with the Paganini Quartet. The author describes his composition with these words: “It is a melodious and serene work, partly neo-classic and partly neo-romantic (like most of my works). I would say, it is written almost in a Schubertian vein – Schubert has always been one of my favorite composers. The first of the four movements, “Allegro vivo e schietto”, is in the regular sonata-allegro form. The second movement, “Andante mesto”, is of a lyrical character, with Spanish undertones (the second theme is marked “Souvenir d’Espagne”). The third movement, “Allegro con spirito, alla Marcia”, is a Scherzo with two Trios. The last movement, “Allegro con fuoco”, is in rondo form, very brilliant and contrapuntal – again the second theme is in a Spanish mood – what could be more appropriate for Andrés Segovia?”.
