Five instruments play in a quintet.
Franz Schubert composed the "Trout Quintet," officially known as Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667. In this work, he played the piano part, which is complemented by string instruments: two violins, a viola, and a cello. The piece is renowned for its lyrical melodies and innovative use of themes, particularly the variations in the fourth movement based on his earlier song "Die Forelle" (The Trout). The quintet showcases Schubert's mastery in blending the piano with the string ensemble, creating a vibrant and harmonious dialogue.
A piano quintet would typically comprise a string quartet (2 violins, viola and cello) and, of course, a piano. The string quartet is the standard medium for chamber music, and the addition of piano adds a dimension of contrasting tonal colors as well as a solid harmonic framework to complement the strings.
