I know that some of the Reicha WW quintets require more than one, including
A, Bb or C, but can't give specifics. I think the Dvorak WW serenade, Op.
44, uses both A and Bb. I haven't played it, but understand that the
Schubert Octet needs C, but I don't know if it is all for C. There is also
the Hindemith Quintet or Quartet with strings which has one movement for Eb.
