===Five parts=== {{Main|Quintet}} The string ''quintet'' is a common type of group. It is similar to the string quartet, but with an additional viola, cello, or more rarely, the addition of a double bass. Terms such as "[[piano quintet]]" or "clarinet quintet" frequently refer to a string quartet ''plus'' a fifth instrument. [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]'s [[Clarinet Quintet (Mozart)|Clarinet Quintet]] is similarly a piece written for an ensemble consisting of two violins, a viola, a cello, and a clarinet, the last being the exceptional addition to a "normal" string quartet.{{Citation needed|date=February 2020}} Some other quintets in classical music are the [[wind quintet]], usually consisting of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn; the [[brass quintet]], consisting of two trumpets, one horn, a trombone, and a tuba; and the reed quintet, consisting of an oboe, a soprano clarinet, a saxophone, a bass clarinet, and a bassoon.<ref>{{Cite web |first=Kristine |last=Thompson |date=April 2021 |title=Blending the old and the new: the Sequoia Reed Quintet |url=https://www.rochester.edu/adv/eastman-centennial/blending-the-old-and-the-new-the-sequoia-reed-quintet/ |access-date=2022-07-31 |website=Eastman Centennial |language=en-US}}</ref>
