The Quintettsatz in D minor, Hess 40, is an incomplete composition for string quintet with two violas by Ludwig van Beethoven. Comprising a completed prelude and an incomplete fugue, it was composed in 1817 around the same time as the Fugue for String Quintet in D major, Op. 137.[1]
Background
From surviving manuscripts, it appears that Beethoven first started work on the quintet around 1815, with sketches of the fugue being found amongst sketches for the Ninth Symphony.[1] [2] It is unclear at this time if Beethoven completed the work.
Structure
The composition, which takes around three minutes to perform, is structured as a single movement marked Adagio - Allegro.
