Piano Quintet,String Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1088407 Composed by Antonio Gervasoni. Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 21 pages. Antonio Gervasoni #692671. Published by Antonio Gervasoni (A0.1088407). Single-movement work for piano quintet. Portrait is a piece I wrote in August 2004 as a gift to Adolf Sobrevilla, to whom it is dedicated. As the title suggests, it is a portrait, an attempt to describe a person—not physically, but emotionally—through music. The original version called for a string orchestra and piano, but I was never completely satisfied with that solution and kept constantly revising the score over the years. In 2016 I was close to a definitive solution after realizing that, due to the virtuosity required of the strings, it was better to reduce them to a solo quintet. Finally, in 2022, I thought it would be better to rewrite the piece for a piano quintet, being a more standard formation.
