The St. Petersburg composers who wrote Romantic era works for brass quintet have come to be known as the "Russian Chamber Brass School" and include Alexander Alabiev, Ludwig Maurer, Wilhelm Ramsoe, Alexander Glazunov, Anton Simon, Oskar Bohme and Victor Ewald. Their works cover a span of some sixty-six years, from 1846 to 1912.
Victor Ewald was the most noted composer of romantic style brass chamber music. For years it was thought that Ewald had written only one work for brass quintet, his opus 5 in B-flat minor.
The discovery of three more Ewald brass quintet works happened because his son-in-law, Yevgeny Gippius, offered to give three manuscripts of Ewald to New York musicologist André M. Smith in 1964. It took Smith nine years to authenticate these works before they were first performed in 1973-74 by the American Brass Quintet in a series of Carnegie Recital Hall concerts.
