Mozart gave the string quintet a grandeur of its own, and these two works, written in the same year, were most likely written as a contrasting pair. The C major work has a sense of nobility about it, while the G minor piece is more poignant. The young French composer Bruno Mantovani has had a meteoric rise to prominence in recent years, after studying in Paris with Pierre Boulez. His quintet has an autobiographical nature.
