The Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34, by Johannes Brahms was completed during the summer of 1864 and published in 1865. It was dedicated to Her Royal Highness Princess Anna of Hesse. Like most piano quintets composed after Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet (1842), it is written for piano and string quartet (two violins, viola and cello). The piece is in four movements:

1. Allegro non troppo (F minor)
2. Andante, un poco adagio (A♭ major)
3. Scherzo: Allegro (C minor – C major)
4. Finale: Poco sostenuto – Allegro non troppo – Presto, non troppo (F minor)

The work began life as a string quintet (completed in 1862 and scored for two violins, viola and two cellos). Brahms transcribed the quintet into a sonata for two pianos (in which form Brahms and Carl Tausig performed it) before giving it its final form. Brahms destroyed the original version for string quintet, but published the Sonata as opus 34 bis. The outer movements are more adventurous than usual in terms of harmony and are unsettling in effect. The introduction to the finale, with its rising figure in semitones, is especially remarkable. Piano and strings play an equally important role throughout this work.
This movement begins with a unison theme in all instruments. It is in sonata form with the exposition concluding in the major-mode submediant (D-flat), which is approached through a second subject in its enharmonic parallel minor (C-sharp). The first theme's heavy emphasis on D-flat prepares and smooths out this modulation, as well as its reversal with the approach to the expositional repeat. It is notable that Brahms' other F minor sonata-form first movements – from the Sonata Op. 5 and the Clarinet Sonata Op. 120/1 – also have an expositional goal of D-flat major, and both also are followed by a slow movement in A-flat major.
