This work was awarded the second prize in a competition for chamber music with winds in 1896 by a jury consisting of Johannes Brahms, Richard von Perger and Eusebius Mandyczewski. The first prize went to Walter Rabl (Quartet op. 1), the third to Alexander Zemlinsky (Trio op. 3).

May I ask why there is a part missing in the middle of the 4th mouvment?

I feel a little paranoid, but i am quite sure to hear a double bass playing on multiple occasions. Where did you get the recording from?

[@thomaskendall452]

It's a really clear and wide-range Orfeo (ORFEO S-182891) recording. Its CD mate is Archduke Rudolf's Septet. Here's the instrumentation: violin, viola, cello, clarinet, bassoon and two horns. I suspect you're hearing cello notes down toward the bottom of the instrument's range.
