Although [[Luigi Boccherini]] composed quintets for piano and string quartet, before 1842 it was more common for the piano to be joined by violin, viola, cello and double bass.  Among the best known quintets for this combination of instruments are [[Franz Schubert]]'s [[Trout Quintet|"Trout" Quintet]] in A major (1819) and [[Johann Nepomuk Hummel]]'s [[Piano Quintet (Hummel)|Piano Quintet in E-flat minor]], Op.87 (1802). Other piano quintets using this instrumentation were composed by [[Jan Ladislav Dussek]] (1799), [[Ferdinand Ries]] (1817),  [[Johann Baptist Cramer]] (1825, 1832), [[Henri Jean Rigel]] (1826), [[Johann Peter Pixis]] (ca.1827), [[Franz Limmer]] (1832), [[Louise Farrenc]] (1839, 1840), and [[George Onslow (composer)|George Onslow]] (1846, 1848, 1849).<ref name="Smallman3">{{cite book|last=Smallman|first=Basil|title=The Piano Quartet and Quintet: Style, Structure, and Scoring|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7TzEBCIO8sgC&pg=PA3|year=1996|publisher=Clarendon Press|isbn=978-0-19-816640-5|page=3}}</ref><ref name="Smallman26">{{cite book|author=Basil Smallman|title=The Piano Quartet and Quintet: Style, Structure, and Scoring|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7TzEBCIO8sgC&pg=PA26|year=1996|publisher=Clarendon Press|isbn=978-0-19-816640-5|page=26}}</ref>

Mozart (in 1784) and [[Ludwig van Beethoven]] (in 1796) each composed a quintet for piano and winds, scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, that are sometimes referred to as piano quintets.
