sextette
Half-dozen musical group
Sextette is an alternative spelling of sextet, a group of six people or things, especially six musicians performing together or a musical composition written for six instruments or voices.
The spelling with -ette reflects French influence and appears occasionally in older texts or formal musical contexts, though sextet is now the standard form.
The sextette performed a challenging piece by Brahms.
