:The actual make-up of the string quintet varies, often according to the instrumental disposition of the composer – Mozart used an extra viola, [[Luigi Boccherini]] liked the cello (although he did write quintets using the [[double bass]] and his [[guitar]] quintets are popular.) Schubert’s great D.956 quintet also uses two cellos. Brahms added a viola.
