Information About

Chamber Music




Chamber music is a form of Classical Music , written for a small group of instruments which traditionally could be accommodated in a palace chamber. Most broadly, it includes any "art music" that is performed by a small number of performers with one performer to a part. The word "chamber" signifies that the music can be performed in a small room, often in a private salon with an intimate atmosphere. However, it usually does not include, by definition, solo instrument performances.


ENSEMBLES

This is a partial list of the types of Ensembles found in chamber music.

The standard repertoire for chamber ensembles is rich, and the totality of chamber music in print in Sheet Music form is nearly boundless. See the articles on each instrument combination for examples of repertoire.
