Navigation etc.

After having established his reputation as a young, talented and promising composer in 1888, Nielsen started composing the quintet for strings. The last three movements were apparently completed between October 1888 and January 1889. According to Emilie Demant Hatt's manuscript, Foraarsbølger, the quintet was completed on 1 January 1889. (Wikipedia says the work was dedicated to Thorvald Nielsen alone?)

Published in 1937 by Edition Dania as his Opus 60.
