Why does a "woodwind" quintet contain a non-woodwind horn?
Also, I was not able to get to the cmich.edu page (the database of quintets). I suspect a broken link. Thanks Littenberg 14:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
It is because the horn is supposed to be an English Horn, but because oboeists (they play the english horn) have always been really few in numbers, and because composers want their pieces to be performed, the french horn has replaced the English.

Is the above statement really true? The french horn and the english horn have nothing in common with regards to timbre and idiom. The transposition is the same and the practical range is somewhat similar, but this doesn's explain why a non-woodwind instrument would be brought to a woodwind ensemble, why not just use another clarinet? Besides, if oboeists were so few, why not leave out the oboe too? I always thought that, even if the french horn is functionally a brass instrument, its versatility of dinamic and tone color, which can go from brassy to soft and smooth in an instant, makes it function as a brass instrument or a woodwind instrument depending on how the composer treats it. It adds a completely new timbre to the wind quintet but blends in very well, thus creating an ensemble that is both timbrically complex and dinamically balanced. I'm sure there must also be a historical explination, so if anyone has anything to add or cross out of my comment, please do!

Lists are pretty much all this article contains. Not exactly helpful when you're being made to compose a wind quintet for Music A-level and you have no idea of any key features, and have no access to Youtube to look any up. Help me out a bit please? Amzi ( Talk To Me) 10:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
It's not clear how to fix this, but the name of the wind quintet Carion automatically links to the wp article for the word "carrion" :) (the wind quintet isn't even on the disambiguation page, much less the main article that it links to) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.146.94 ( talk) 14:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I suspect that "Bobesch, Constantin" is a typo for "Bobescu, Constantin". There is certainly a composer of the latter name. Could someone with access to the relevant source check this out? SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 13:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Another puzzling one. It's spelled wrong anyway, as it's been given as V-A-I-J-E-A-N. Could it be a reference to Paul Juon? SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 16:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
The majority of the entries in this list are redlinks, and very few have external links, so it is unclear if the quintets listed are, in any way, "prominent", or, in Wikipedia terms "notable"
I propose that, in common with most Wikipedia lists, all entries should either have a Wikipedia article, or should have a link to a
reliable source (not the quintets own PR, but an external source) to show that they are notable.

Why the distinction between composers of wind quintets and "notable wind quintet repertoire?" Who decides which quintets are notable? And is a list of composers with no works helpful to anyone? I notice that in the 18th and 19th century lists, there is at least a comment on a composer's output, but there are no comments in the 20th and 21st century lists. If one compares this article to the articles on Brass Quintets ( Brass quintet repertoire), where the works are listed with the composers and String Quartets ( List of string quartet composers), where all compositions are mentioned with dates and links where appropriate, it seems that this article could be better organized and more helpful to the reader seeking comprehensive wind quintet repertoire.
