Talk:Piano Quintet No. 1 (Dvořák)

Information from article on second quintet
The article on the second quintet has more to say about this quintet:


 * The work was composed as the result of the composer's attempt to revise an earlier work, the first Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 5.[1] Dvořák was dissatisfied with the Op. 5 quintet and destroyed the manuscript not long after its premiere. Fifteen years later, he reconsidered and retrieved a copy of the score from a friend and started making revisions. However, he decided that rather than submitting the revised work for publication, he would compose an entirely new work.

Notice that the present article is slightly in conflict with this account: it says that Dvořák lost the manuscript rather than that he destroyed it. It also refers to a revised version, but doesn't say whether it was ever published --- while the article on the second quintet suggests that it was not.

Should some of this material be incorporated in this article? If so, how should the discrepancies be handled? Ishboyfay (talk) 18:10, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This article uses this source as the main reference, which I would generally consider reliable. It says that the work was first performed in 1922, but was not published until 1959 as part of a critical edition. The article on the Piano Quintet No. 2 sadly does not cite a source in the Background section. intforce (talk) 12:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
