Rather than the usual piano quintet ensemble of piano and string quartet, the Trout Quintet is written for piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass.
According to Schubert's friend Albert Stadler, it was modelled on the quintet version of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Septet in D Minor for Flute, Oboe, Horn, Viola, Cello, Bass and Piano, Op. 74.[3] It may also have been influenced by Hummel's Quintet in E flat Op. 87 .[4]
