how about rimsky-korsakov's scherazade, or capriccio espanole?

or, for easy listening, johann strauss, jr. 'on the beautiful blue danube.'  they sound like fun to play, no matter what piece.
do you know why benches fall apart?  it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them.  hint:  buy a bench that does not hinge.  buy it for sturdiness.

ralph vaughn williams piano quintet in c minor?

when i just went to listen to it, i found instead some lecture notes on 20th century composers that was interesting.  www.music.eku.edu/faculty/davis/mus555symphoniclit/mus555lecturenotes.html

It is not modern but the Piano Quintet by Cesar Franck is the best.
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

i found a modern composer by the name of steve roens who composed a piano quintet.
(i want to listen on www.kbyufm.org but can't get into it yet -can't find his date)

also, prokofiev composed a quintet.  poulenc, a sextet.  supposed to be pretty good.

did you know skepto, i spent most of the day searching.  only to come up with basically listening to the schubert 'trout quintet' and deciding as you have - that it's not really what i want to play.  i like the third variation of the fourth movement, though.

Jeez, I can't believe I wrote Quartet. I meant Recorded the Trout Quintet with the Arditti Quartet, (at least  I hope.) I think his own quintet is actually quite interesting, played with the Belcea Quartet.

mmmmmm i'm not a big fan of the Schumann or Brahms, but I think the Brahms is cooler.  The Schumann is too sappy for my tastes.

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
