Franz Berwald (1796-1868) was a Romantic Swedish composer born into a family of musicians. During his life, he was generally ignored and even ridiculed for his musical works. Despite receiving lessons for violin and composing, Berwald ultimately made a living as an orthopedic surgeon and later a factory manager. Berwald composed the Piano Quintet in C Minor in 1853.
