The "Marche Funebre" was originally written for fortepiano and placed after the elegy of the "Elegie harmonique" as a salute to Jan Ladislav Dussek, the Czech piano virtuoso whose talents, would prefigure those of Liszt, Mendelssohn, Chopin in a way that marked him as a man ahead of his time. Neukomm's homage is no less original and in a powerful emotional statement on the loss of a great and talented friend Neukomm exploits the rich sonority of the string quintet.
