Warning
Please note that this list is manually updated, and may not contain IMSLP's complete collection.
To generate automatically updated lists see "Browse by Work genre" in the sidebar.

This is the page to list chamber music compositions use mixed instruments. Meaning, those with only strings (e.g. String Quintet D.956 from Schubert) or winds (e.g. Wind Serenade K.375 from Mozart) will be excluded here. Also, since the concept of chamber music was established after Haydn-Mozart period, those works with similar instrumention from Baroque composers will also be excluded, too.
