string quintet
Five-piece classical group
A string quintet is a piece of classical music written for five string instruments, or the ensemble that performs such works.
The standard configuration adds a second viola or cello to the traditional string quartet of two violins, viola, and cello.
Schubert's String Quintet in C major is considered one of the greatest chamber works ever written.
