IIRC, rfg, the Boccherini Guitar Quintets were actually themselves the composer's own arrangements of some of his Piano Quintets (Piano & S4tet).

This is just idle speculation, of course - and it doesn't explain why Beethoven didn't think to combine the two principal media of his last works (although he may have done, given time: he was only 56 when he died, after all).

didn't know that my Boccherini knowledge base has quintupled in the last month from a very small baseline

But then there's also Xenakis (Akea), Walter Zimmermann Schatten der Ideen 4 "De Umbris idearum", Gloria Coates, Bryn Harrison, Sofia Gubaidulina, that I can think of offhand and which haven't already been mentioned as far as I know.

Recently issued on a HCR CD coupled with Mary Bellamy's beneath an ocean of air for Piano Quintet:

... and Dillon's Soadie Waste:

... and, of course, Elliott Carter's Piano Quintet from 1997.

Unsure how this thread relates to Ahinton's Original....
But y'know, what I said then....

Time will never be wasted on Schnittke's sole example, or the two by Martinu, though your emotions might get a touch wrung out....

But the true buried treasure I have to offer is the OP.29 (1940) by... Enescu..... Stunningly adventurous, emotionally and musically wide-ranging at around 35' (in 2 parts of 2 movements each) it will reward the adventurous very richly indeed...

Further back, I love to delve among the (many) pages of Cesar Franck's Romantic masterpiece once in a while...

Golly, so many suggestions! Many thanks for all.

Golly, so many suggestions! Many thanks for all.

Would it be possible to see your final list if and when it is completed?

I think it would be interesting to consider.

There are also two by Sorabji, of which the latter is one of the largest of its kind and has yet to be performed (although its score has been typeset) and the former, a single movement occupying almost half an hour, has received several performances (the first of which, by an unfortunate coincidence, was given in the same city and on the same date as the première of Elliott Carter's Piano Quintet!).

On the assumption that PQs which have yet to be performed are admissible on the list, yer 'umble servant has one of his own...

Didn't I hear it on the wireless a few years ago? Or was that the first of two?
