Premiered in 1919 in Zurich by the leaders of string sections of the Tonhalle Orchestra with Frank Martin himself at the piano, it displays a wide variety of influences, all forming part of a 29-year-old musician”s search for his own artistic voice. At the same time, the Quintet”s style is thoroughly individual, notably in it”s choice of rich harmonies. Providing a marked contrast to Frank Martin”s filigree, pared-down early style, César Franck”s profuse, monumental Piano Quintet in F Minor (1879) is typical of the Franco-Belgian composer”s late output. All of Franck”s characteristics seem to blend together in this work which he wrote at the age of 57: Wagnerian chromatic harmonies, dramatic developments similar to those we know from his symphonic poems and oratorios, and a polyphonic musical thinking “”in organ registers””
