The programme features pieces with unusual scoring: Hummel's Quintet, Op 87, instrumented using the same combination of piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass as Schubert did for his more famous Trout quintet, as well as Mendelssohn's Sextet in D, which uses piano, violin, two violas, cello and bass and was written he was just 15.
