A "classical" string quintet by Josef Mysliveček opens the concert with different quintet constellations by Czech composers. Pavel Haas, one of Leoš Janáček's most talented students, combines four strings with percussion for the first time, which creates extraordinary tonal colors in the last movement. He was inspired to do this in 1925 by a summer stay in the Monkey Mountains near Brno: "Whether it's about the rhythm of the vast landscape or the song of birds, the irregular movement of a horse-drawn carriage in the country, the warm song of the human heart or the quiet cool flow of the moon's rays, the exuberant mood of a sleepless and smitten night or the pure, innocent smile of the morning sun... there is always movement here that dominates everything. The fact that the drums and elements of jazz are used in the last movement was the logical consequence for Haas. In the end, only the violin and the violoncello remain, which Zdeněk Fibich engages in an animated conversation with the clarinet, the horn and the piano in his late romantic quintet from 1893, which in between also invites to dream.
