A child prodigy of the keyboard, heir to Tomašek in composition and Hummel on the piano, Voříšek was one of the driving forces of Viennese musical life between 1815 and 1825. A friend of Schubert’s and admired by Beethoven, who requested the honour of being one of his pallbearers, he left a very limited output, including four chamber works, the Rondo for string quartet being recorded here for the first time.
