Pre-shipment lead time: On orderWe all grew up on the monumental piano quintets of the past - such thrilling music. But as I began to write a piano quintet myself, 'the way in' eluded me. I kept thinking, a piano and a string quartet need e ach other like a hole in the head. Why combine them anyway I looked to the masters for inspiration and along the way became convinced that even they had grappled with this question. Perhaps it was no coincidence that Schumann, Brahms, Dvo ák, Franck, Elgar, Shostakovich and Carter had each written only one. Finding my own answer was difficult and took a long time. When the answer finally came - it gave me great joy. My Piano Quintet reflects that joy as no other piece I've ever written has done. Tobias Picker / Quintette De Pianos
