piano quintet
Strings plus keys
A piano quintet is a chamber music ensemble consisting of piano plus four other instruments, typically a string quartet (two violins, viola, and cello).
The term also refers to compositions written for this combination: Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-flat major.
Less commonly, piano quintet may indicate piano with four winds or other configurations.
