piano quartet
Keys plus strings
A piano quartet is a chamber music ensemble consisting of piano plus three string instruments, typically violin, viola, and cello.
The term also refers to compositions written for this combination.
Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms wrote notable works in this form.
Despite the name suggesting four pianos, the quartet designation refers to the total number of performers.
The piano quartet performed Fauré at the recital.
