"The main theme of the opening movement to Louise Farrenc's Piano Quintet No.1 in a minor, Allegro, is full of possibilities... Farrenc’s style is clearly that of the Romantic era with all the parts being integrated and with no trace of concertante style...In the second movement, Adagio non troppo, one is particularly struck by how perfectly the piano is integrated into the ensemble. It has a beautiful, dreamy Schumannesque opening theme entrusted to the cello, high in its tenor register. The second theme, which appears but once, is in the minor. The presentation of it by the viola intensifies the aura of unrest which disturbs this otherwise peaceful Idyll. Next comes a marvelous breathtaking Scherzo, presto. The piano and the violin present most of the thematic material chasing after each other at breakneck speed. The buoyant middle section is every bit as good. The opening theme of the convincing finale is begun by the violin and is full of forward thrust. The second theme has a jaunty quality, a little like an Elgaresque March Militaire."---The Chamber Music Journal
