Sergei Taneyev
In the twentieth century, the piano quintet repertoire was expanded with notable contributions by composers such as Béla Bartók, Sergei Taneyev, Louis Vierne, Edward Elgar, Gabriel Fauré, and Dmitri Shostakovich. However, unlike the string quartet, which remained an important chamber music genre for musical experimentation, the piano quintet came to acquire "a somewhat conservative profile, far from major developments" in musical expression.
