Such timbral writing may have influenced the works of Romantic composers such as Frédéric Chopin, who admired Schubert's music for piano four-hands.

The quintet was written for Sylvester Paumgartner, of Steyr in Upper Austria, a wealthy music patron and amateur cellist, who also suggested that Schubert include a set of variations on the Lied. Sets of variations on melodies from his Lieder are found in four other works by Schubert: the ""Death and the Maiden Quartet"", the ""Trockne Blumen"" Variations for Flute and Piano (D. 802), the ""Wanderer Fantasy"", and the Fantasia for Violin and"

There is a small body of works written for piano quintet with the instrumentation of piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The most famous is Franz Schubert's Piano Quintet in A major, known as ""The Trout Quintet"" for its set of variations in the fourth movement of Schubert's ""Die Forelle"". Other works for this instrumentation written from roughly the same period include those by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, George Onslow,"
"which would be a favorite form for most of Schubert's remaining symphonic slow movements. The themes in the B section are not new. They are developed from the ""Allegro"" theme of the first movement and the themes of the A section. The second appearance of B, the third return of A and the beginning of the coda have a sixteenth-note ostinato accompaniment added to help bring cohesiveness to the sections. This was a device that Beethoven had previously used in the slow movements of his Op. 18 No. 1 quartet and his ""Pathetique"" sonata. Symphony No. 4 (Schubert) Franz Schubert's"
"Schubert wrote in 1816. It is this set of variations from which the work's popular name is derived. The four movements are played without a break. After the first movement ""Allegro con fuoco ma non troppo"" in C major and the second movement ""Adagio"", follow a scherzo ""presto"" in A-flat major and the technically transcendental finale, which starts in fugato returning to the key of C major and becomes more and more virtuosic as it moves toward its thunderous nonfugal conclusion. The Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, who was fascinated by the ""Wanderer Fantasy"", transcribed it for piano and orchestra (S.366)"
"in his own Fourth Piano Concerto. In addition, the famous motif in the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony resembles one found in this concerto. Also, Mozart's 25th and Beethoven's 5th concerti have a strong march-like theme in the first movement that is first played in minor and then soon appears gloriously in major. The tranquil second movement is in sonata form, but lacks a development section. It extensively uses the winds. The third movement is a sonata-rondo that opens with a gavotte theme from Mozart's opera ""Idomeneo"". Girdlestone considers this movement to be very serious-minded. Like the first movement,"

This movement is a set of variations, written in D minor; the first variation is a duet between viola and second violin, and the third variation is a solo for cello. With the opus 20 quartets, Haydn moved forward the development of the sonata form. A movement written in sonata form has an exposition, where the themes and motifs of the movement are presented; a development section, where these themes are transformed; and a recapitulation, where the themes are restated. Traditionally, the restatement closely matched the original exposition. But Haydn, in opus"

The third variation has been called a ""pre-echo"" of the funeral march movement by Andras Schiff during his lecture on the sonata. This movement is also unusual in the sense that it is not in sonata form but rather a set of variations on a theme.

As typical of some other variation movements by Schubert (in contrast to Beethoven's style), the variations do not transform the original theme into new thematic material; rather, they concentrate on melodic decoration and changes of mood. In each of the first few variations, the main theme is played by a different instrument or group. In the fifth variation, Schubert begins in the flat submediant (B major), and creates a series of modulations eventually leading back to the movement's main key, at the"

The concluding variation is similar to the original Lied, sharing the same characteristic accompaniment in the piano. The Finale is in two symmetrical sections, like the second movement.

"String Quartet No. 14 (Schubert) The String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, known as Death and the Maiden, is a piece by Franz Schubert that has been called ""one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire."" It was composed in 1824, after the composer suffered a serious illness and realized that he was dying. It is named for the theme of the second movement, which Schubert took from a song he wrote in 1817 of the same title. Some interpret it as Schubert's testament to death, and find that the theme of death is palpable in all four"

Movement 4, a paraphrase of the quotation from the gospel, is a duet, which handles three stanzas in ever richer variations: the first stanza is for bass and strings in G major, the second in higher D major for soprano and additional flutes, the final one for both voices in A major and with more figuration. The structure of this duet is unique in Bach's cantatas, the variations in rising keys, and the increase in instruments and musical texture all add to illustrate the exaltation mentioned in the title of the cantata. For the Baroque,"

The main part of the Minuet is in minuet sonata form, while ""the contrasting major-mode Trio ... is ... almost embarrassingly lightweight on its own ...
