Quintet No. 3 for brass quintet begins in C minor with a fast and tense melody. Throughout the piece, the initial melody is contrasted with a slower and solemn tune. The music moves later to G minor and finally A minor. The meter is 2/4 throughout and pulses steadily at a fast rate right on to the end. Chromatic alterations and dynamic contrast play a key role in bringing this work to life. For 2 B-flat trumpets, F horn, trombone, and tuba. Duration: Approx. 3 minutes, 45 seconds.
