Welcome back, subby. Is the Op 26 a work involving an electronic instrument (that sort of "conductor")?

No, it was revolutionary in its compositional method.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Oh! I'm such a fool! Schoenberg's Opus 26 (the first large-scale work to use the Method of Composing with Twelve Notes Related Only to Each Other throughout) is his Wind Quintet. A medium untouched for about 100 years before this work.

Benda one of the others?

EDIT: Cross post with cloughie who got the other two composers.

(Don't think Strauss wrote a Ww5tet?)

Two out of three. Strauss Opus 26 appears to be two songs for voice and piano.

That's the third. The work was found by players to be so complex that it needed a conductor for many early performances.

Summary:

The Wind Quintet as a "standard" ensemble was effectively established by Franz Danzi (1763–1826), who composed 9 Wind Quintets, and Anton Reicha (1770 – 1836), who composed 24. There appear to have been very few others composed until the twentieth century.

Cloughie got the "W" and the first two links, so I think he has the privilege of the next letter (by established convention a choice of X, Y, Z or A).

Nice one Cloughs!

Still very keen to hear Richard Schonberg's Wind Quintet though! Got a link, mate?

Never said it was Richard, 'tis 'rnold, my 'ansome, and the ferneyman pipped me anyway.
