Quote from: eschiss1 on Saturday 29 March 2025, 09:54instrumentation of winds and piano (think Danzi, Mozart, Beethoven, others)
I was completely ignorant of Danzi's 3 piano and wind quintets even after began to compile PQs for more than half a year. Thanks for mentioning this in passing.

This particular arrangement has been recorded by Linos Ensemble on Capriccio

I remember in the previous post about the recording of this concerto, a coupling of Woyrsch's VC is mentioned. So I think this heralds a commercial release

In my understanding, early large scale piano chamber music (bigger than a piano quartet) are usually seen as scaled-down piano and orchestra works. The rise of original piano quintet is a quite late phenomenon, I think the majority of them appears after 1860. But these are mostly quintets for piano and strings (and quite a few for only winds). The instrumentation of quintets for piano, winds and strings appears much later, though examples of quintets for piano and winds only are written by Mozart and Beethoven (one each).
I think it is unlikely that a string part in a piano quintet with strings would be arranged for a wind instrument. In reverse, substituting wind instrument for string instruments is a usual option in chamber music, but substituting some of them?
If it is an original work and not a pastiche, I think it goes against an analysis of the major trend......

Then there is bottomless hole of the possibility that this is a down-sized arrangement of a work with larger instrumentation for in-home playing and as a preview of the "whole" work.

Anyway, last year I started to compile a list of recorded piano quintets and I can list the ones that features piano, clarinet and strings (on the assumption that the quintet in this film is an already "known" one) that is not modern, though clearly none of which is the the answer to your question (most of them stylistically far removed and maybe anachronistic to the setting):
1. a variation by Ernest Walker
2. Josef Labor's Op. 11
3. Franz Schmidt's two quintets for this instrumentation
4. Weingartner's

There are 3 more works for this instrumentation from modern period that I know of, and there is an equal amount of  recorded quintets written for two winds, two strings and piano (Draeseke's quintet with horn is much rarer example of a quintet for a wind that is not clarinet, strings and piano among the recorded piano quintets).

Then I realized there is another possibility: that the piano part is originally for harp. Is there a harp quintet like this? I don't know...

I can think of a work in this genre that I have seen but haven't listened to yet: Walter Rabl's arrangement of Paderewski's Manru

I have just uploaded a recording of this broadcast, waiting to be approved

Here is the score video recently made by Bartje

the opening notes are the same as his violin sonata no. 1

I quite love his violin sonatas and particularly nos 1 (revised version in late years) & 3. These are more "agreeable" in style (like his symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 and the piano concerto) after he retreated in late years from a somewhat dissonant expressionist idiom. I also bought the cd contains the piano quartet and the lp contains the string quartets. They (piano quartet and string quartets nos 1 & 2) are works from his expressionist period.

Thank you very much for solving this mystery through a unique perspective, Greentiger: a totally unexpected development!
#12
The disc has been released today!
#13
Had anyone recorded this series? Only a shortened version of it is available now, most of the music is omitted......

Very intriguing strand of thought. Thank you for your hypothesis!

Thank you, Mr. Wheesht, I'm looking forward to it. I played the opening theme of the first violin sonata from the score and consider it promising enough.
