Recondita armonia [Recondite Harmony] is based on a string quintet that he composed while studying at the Conservatory in Barcelona. The work was forgotten until Montsalvatge decided to revise it for the premiere on June 2, 1995 in the Church of Sant Pau del Camp.

The work, which was obviously written in a time of trial and error as well as exploration, reflects the Neo-Romanticism of his early works. This respect for Italian Verisimo and the lyricism of Puccini, which continues today, can be seen in the title as well as in three of the movements. The «Allegretto» is more evolved, independent and points toward his current aesthetic orientation.

The first movement, «Allegro con brio», is the movement which is most similar to the first version while the «Andante sostenuto» shows has the greatest influence of Italian lyricism. The «Allegreto» was the most changed movement which converted it to a true scherzo. The final movement, «Moderato-presto», synthesizes the general character of the work by including all of its lyric elements and leading to a final episode with more tension and a forceful conclusion.
