Aloys Fleischmann was born in Munich in 1910.

After completing the BMus and MA at University College, Cork, he studied composition and conducting at the Akademie für Tonkunst, Munich, and musicology at Munich University. On returning to Cork in 1934, he was appointed professor of music at University College, where he remained until his retirement in 1980. Acutely aware of the obligation of his generation to create circumstances in which modern Irish music could flourish in a recently independent Ireland, his involvement in all aspects of musical life was deep and committed.

Terse modal diatonicism gradually gave way to a freer chromatic style from about 1960, but his sympathies remained with traditional forms of expression. He gave us his piano quintet in 1938. There are four movements:
I. Allegretto
II. Andante tranquillo
III. Allegro scherzando
IV. Allegro molto

The work was performed by Hugh Tinney, piano, with the Vanbrugh Quartet.
