String Quintet No. 2 (Brahms) String Quintet No. 2 (Brahms) String Quintet No. 2 in G major, Op. 111, is a work by Johannes Brahms published in 1890. It is known as the "Prater" Quintet. Brahms intended it to be his last piece of music, though he later produced a number of piano pieces and the two sonatas for clarinet or viola and piano. The first performance of the Quintet in Vienna on November 11, 1890 was a sensation (Swafford 1997, p. 568). Like Brahms' earlier string quintet, Opus 88, it is a viola quintet, scored for two violins, two violas and cello. The work
