A string trio consists of three players, a string quartet four, a string quintet five, and so on.

This 3rd piano trio was later reworked by Beethoven into the C minor string quintet, Op.

Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron to whom the fourth violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.

His chamber works include three string quartets, two string quintets, two string sextets, a clarinet quintet, a clarinet trio, a horn trio, a piano quintet, three piano quartets, and four piano trios ( the fourth being published posthumously ).

The string quintet is a common type of group.

Terms such as " piano quintet " or " clarinet quintet " frequently refer to a string quartet plus a fifth instrument.

Thus, a piano quintet is usually a string quartet plus a piano.

Mozart was a versatile composer, and wrote in every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata.

In addition to his symphonies, Bruckner wrote masses, motets and other sacred choral works, and a few chamber works, including a string quintet.

As a cover, the Professor convinces the naive Mrs. Wilberforce that the group are an amateur string quintet using the room for rehearsal space.

In European classical music, a piano quintet is a work of chamber music written for piano and four other instruments, most commonly piano, two violins, viola, and cello ( i. e., piano and string quartet ).

However, unlike the string quartet, which remained an important genre for twentieth-century composers, the piano quintet came to acquire " a somewhat conservative profile, far from major developments " in musical expression.

From a technical standpoint, the string playing is good, but the Pro Arte people fail to enter into the spirit of things here.

The lowest possible energy an electron can take is therefore analogous to the fundamental frequency of a wave on a string.

N-ary associativity is a string of length n +( n-1 ) with any n adjacent elements bracketed.

The two methods produce the same result ; string concatenation is associative ( but not commutative ).

More formally, the complexity of a string is the length of the shortest possible description of the string in some fixed universal description language ( the sensitivity of complexity relative to the choice of description language is discussed below ).

If P is a program which outputs a string x, then P is a description of x.

The length of the description is just the length of P as a character string, multiplied by the number of bits in a character ( e. g. 7 for ASCII ).

If M is a Turing Machine which, on input w, outputs string x, then the concatenated string < M > w is a description of x.

Thus, if P is a program in L < sub > 2 </ sub > which is a minimal description of s, then InterpretLanguage ( P ) returns the string s. The length of this description of s is the sum of

It is not hard to see that the minimal description of a string cannot be too much larger than the string itself-the program GenerateFixedString above that outputs s is a fixed amount larger than s.

In the 6th century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras wanted to know why some musical intervals seemed more beautiful than others, and he found answers in terms of numerical ratios representing the harmonic overtone series on a string.

Due to the large percussion section utilized in the Broadway musical West Side Story, composer Leonard Bernstein chose to utilize a string section without violas.

* Cerdd Dant ( string music ) or Canu Penillion ( verse singing ) is the art of vocal improvisation over a given melody in Welsh musical tradition.

") and chorda ( from Greek χορδή ) meaning " string, especially of a musical instrument ".

1520 – 1591 ), father of Galileo and the inventor of monody, made use of the method in successfully solving musical problems, firstly, of tuning such as the relationship of pitch to string tension and mass in stringed instruments, and to volume of air in wind instruments ; and secondly to composition, by his various suggestions to composers in his Dialogo della musica antica e moderna ( Florence, 1581 ).

A fiddle is any bowed string musical instrument, most often the violin.

To accentuate this inherent musical tension, Horn juxtaposed the driving funk / rock rhythm section with a dramatic formal string arrangement and plenty of orchestral stabs, a novel technique that Horn himself had pioneered the previous year in producing Yes's " Owner of a Lonely Heart ".

His later piano music and string quartets, especially, showed the way to a completely unexplored musical universe, and influenced Franz Schubert ( 1797 – 1828 ) and Robert Schumann ( 1810 – 1856 ).

Indian musical instruments can be broadly classified into four categories: string instruments ( chordophones ), wind instruments ( aerophones ), membranophnes and idiophones.

Michael A. Levine composed Divination By Mirrors for musical saw soloist and two string ensembles tuned a quarter tone apart, taking advantage of the saws ability to play in both tunings.

In classical music, trios or quartets either blend the sounds of musical instrument families ( such as piano, strings, and wind instruments ) or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string ensembles or wind ensembles.

The musical terms " piano " and " forte " mean " quiet " and " loud ," and in this context refers to the variations in volume of sound the instrument produces in response to a pianist's touch on the keys: the greater a key press's velocity, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the string ( s ), and the louder the note produced.

It is set up in the manner of a Broadway-esque musical number, complete with string and brass ensembles, and is only topped by David Gilmour's guitar riff.

Historically, the problem of a vibrating string such as that of a musical instrument was studied by Jean le Rond d ' Alembert, Leonhard Euler, Daniel Bernoulli, and Joseph-Louis Lagrange.

Jaffe continued to explore the musical and technical possibilities of the algorithm in Silicon Valley Breakdown, for computer-generated plucked strings ( 1982 ), as well as in later works such as Telegram to the President, 1984 for string quartet and tape, and Grass for female chorus and tape ( 1987 ).

Because it contains all the integer harmonics, it is one of the best waveforms to use for subtractive synthesis of musical sounds, particularly bowed string instruments like violins and cellos, since the slip-stick behavior of the bow drives the strings with a sawtooth-like motion.

They form the overtone series of the string, and they are the basis for musical acoustics.

In later years this became a prominent and often successful sideline for major producers, as evidenced by the string of albums by the studio group The Alan Parsons Project ( created by former EMI / Abbey Road staff engineer Alan Parsons ) and the successful musical adaptation of H. G.

A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string players – usually two violin players, a violist and a cellist – or a piece written to be performed by such a group.
