Rondino for Piano Quintet (Czerny)

Carl Czerny's Rondino on a Theme of Auber for Piano Quintet, Op. 127 () was published by Diabelli in 1826. Czerny bases his Rondino on the Ronde - The Round of the Good Worker from Act 1 of Auber's opera, Le maçon.

Scored for a standard piano quintet (Piano, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello), the composition is what the composer would have dubbed a "brilliant" piece, intended to show off the skills of the piano soloist in a concert setting. An arrangement has also been made of the piece for Piano and String Orchestra.

Structure

The composition consists of a single multi-tempo movement divided into two sections, the F major Introduction (Marked: Andante) and the A major Rondino (Marked: Allegretto grazioso - Allegro vivace).
