Adagio and Rondo concertante in F major, D 487 (Schubert)
The Adagio and Rondo concertante in F major, D. 487 (also known as the Adagio e Rondo concertante in F or Piano Quartet, D. 487) was composed by Franz Schubert in 1816. A "brilliant" work designed as a display piece for the piano soloist, it is not only one of the few works the composer wrote in this style, but it is his first composition for piano and string ensemble, preceding the "Trout" Quintet" by three years.[1]
Background
Schubert apparently composed the quartet at the request of Heinrich Grob, the brother of Therese Grob, who at the time Schubert hoped to marry.[2][3]
Offered to Diabelli after Schubert's death, the composition was not published until 1865.[4]
Performance History
The first known public performance of the quartet was on 1 November 1861 at the Ludwig Bösendorfer Salon in Vienna.[5][6]
Structure
The composition, which is written for a standard piano quartet is in two movements played continuously:
The composition takes around 14–16 minutes to perform.
