    There is no doubt that Turgenev had reformist tendencies; he moved amid the circles of the Russian intelligentsia (Freeborn 1994, 39), which would have in turn born some influence on him. Since the 1860s, however, Turgenev’s work has met with criticism revolving around ideology versus poeticism, and at the center of this argument is Bazarov. In regard to this controversial character, Turgenev said, ‘in the main character, Bazarov, there lay the figure of a young provincial doctor that struck me’ (Turgenev 1869 cited in Katz 2008, p 133). We cannot know to what degree Turgenev used artistic license on the character; he may be like or unlike Turgenev’s provincial doctor, perhaps even pure fiction.

    Formally, the first movement of the Quintet is of considerable interest. The interest is generated not by a problem in determining the overall form, for that is clearly sonata form. Rather, it is in determining the exact location of the main sections and subsections within the sonata form. The sections which will most concern our discussion are the introductions, the exposition and the developmental section. I say introductions as plural as it appears actually be two sections of music. These two…
