The first would be piano quartet, though! Minus the 2nd Violin!
The first would be piano quartet, though! Minus the 2nd Violin!String Quartet - 2nd Violin + Piano = Piano sextet
String Quartet + Viola = String Quintet
Funny thing about the Quintet though, it does mean that there's an extra string instrument, but it could be either a viola or a cello.
More like an itch you have to scratch. Or, it's like you want to believe that there is life beyond earth; similarly, that there is life beyond ideas for stupid threads.Do you find stupid thread ideas attractive?
Phil loves classical: Having given this question some more thought, it seems to me that the attractiveness of stupid thread ideas must be temporary. I guess it's possible that some idea can be both profound and stupid, meaning that it can be stupid in many ways or in one big way. But anything profoundly stupid cannot be attractive.Do you find stupid thread ideas attractive?
Homo ludens.But I am looking forward to putting more time into other things.

I like the sound of that: profoundly stupid. For me there is a kind of stupid I find attractive: funny and so outrageously silly, that it can't be accidental.Phil loves classical: Having given this question some more thought, it seems to me that the attractiveness of stupid thread ideas must be temporary.

As for the 8,000-plus posts on Ideas for Stupid Threads, for me they aren't so attractive as to invite re-reading. Quite a few of them are funny, but only momentarily. Above all it's the word stupid that I don't like anymore, even as self-deprecation. I've enjoyed participating in this thread and certainly don't have any issues with people posting here. But I am looking forward to putting more time into other things.
Not sure I should like this. The shades of blue are attractive. But f I'm supposed to be in that thing, G-forces have already done a number on me ...View attachment 186808

My only consoling thought is that you might switch from composers to performers, in alphabetical order of course. "Ohlsson" begins with a nice round vowel for starting over again. And then "O" could also mean "Omega," the end. Or if that is too extreme maybe it's time for a spring break, even if there's snow on the ground like there is here. Or, ... well that's all I have to say before going back to the 200-plus orchestral suites I've listened to, and noticing the glaring and crucially important gaps -- ("what? nothing by Livonian composers?," my detractors will complain) -- ok, enough.Listening in alphabetical order. I'm on B now: volume 8 of Beethoven piano sonatas with Garrick Ohlsson. God, the alphabet is LONG!!!

Why hasn't NASA told us about this? Gotta keep up...I think the TARDIS disintegrates itself and all its contents into individual atoms and transmits them through subspace. No G-forces.
Well, we have composers to alphabetize and interpreters to alphabetize. Sounds like an application of Cantor's diagonal. However, all sets involved are finite ...Dr. Who says, "Alphabetize all CM and then only listen in alphabetical order." I don't know what he meant.
Don't listen to the math nerds, infinity is not a thing. It's just the number 8 passed out drunk!Well, we have composers to alphabetize and interpreters to alphabetize. Sounds like an application of Cantor's diagonal. However, all sets involved are finite ...
Well yeah NASA... I wanted to be an astronaut but NASA said there was no space in their training program! What?!?Why hasn't NASA told us about this? Gotta keep up...
Yes, 0 does exist in math, which means just about everywhere nowadays. Yet I still prefer the null set because it is more elegant. { }Since 0 is nothing, does that mean it doesn't exist?
