Ignaz Pleyel (1757–1831) was one of the most multifaceted artists of all time, being active in various fields as a composer, performer, publisher and piano builder. Born in Lower Austria, he became the pupil of Joseph Haydn in Eisenstadt, who considered him to be a superb student. In 1791, due to the French Revolution, musical performances in churches and public concerts were abolished, so Pleyel travelled to London searching for a better place to work as a composer and organiser. He later moved to Paris, where he founded his publishing house and published around 4000 works in 39 years, including compositions by Beethoven, Clementi, Mozart and Onslow. Pleyel was a quite prolific composer, writing at least 42 symphonies, 70 string quartets and several operas. Recent scholarship has suggested that the theme for the St. Anthony Variations [on a Theme by Haydn] Op.56a by Johannes Brahms was probably composed not by Haydn but by Ignaz Pleyel.
The beautiful and cheerful Quintet in C for piano and winds is in a pleasant, early-classical Viennese style, reminding us of the previous masterpieces for the same medium by Mozart and Beethoven. An arrangement for Wind Octet of this work is preserved at the Fürstlich Fürstenbergische Hofbibliothek Donaueschingen in Germany. The manuscript of the Due Duetti for clarinet and viola has so far never been published. This is interesting, as this seldom used instrumental combination creates a very effective sound, thanks to the complementary warm timbres of the two parts.
