String Quintet No. 5 (Mozart)

The String Quintet No. 5 in D major, K. 593 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1790. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, it is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).

## Movements

[edit]

The work is in standard four movement form:

1. Larghetto 3
4 – Allegro – Larghetto 3
4 – Primo Tempo  in D major
2. Adagio 3
4 in G major
3. Menuetto: Allegretto 3
4 in D major, with trio in D major
4. Allegro Assai6
8 in D major

According to the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe,[1] the finale was printed, and known for some time, in an inauthentic edition, in which its main theme, originally a descending chromatic scale fragment, was replaced in most of its appearances in the movement by a more complicated zigzag ("Zickzackform") themelet.
