Quintet for Winds

First published in 1957, this work has been reprinted multiple times and appears now as both a full score as well as the individual parts that comprise it. Endre Szervanszky (1911-1977) created this work during a creative period when the basic starting point for musical invention was Hungarian folk song. However, the demanding and expert reshaping of this musical material also characterized his musical creations. This quintet for winds has also earned recognition from instrumental musicians with its sophistication, intensity, superb instrumental arrangement, and classical four-movement structure.
