Traditionally a clarinet quintet is a chamber musical ensemble made up of one clarinet, plus the standard string quartet of two violins, one viola, and one cello. Now the term clarinet quintet can refer to any combination of instruments in the clarinet family (mainly B♭, E♭, bass, and E♭ alto clarinets). The term is also used to refer to a piece written for one of these ensembles.
