Piano Quartet in E♭ major, Op. 47 by Robert Schumann
Schumann completed this quartet for piano, violin, viola and cello in 1842, with the premiere performance being given in 1844 in Leipzig with Clara Schumann playing the piano.

The work was well received by the public and by other composers.
The quartet is comprised of four movements: I. Sostenuto assai – Allegro ma non troppo II. Scherzo: Molto vivace III. Andante cantabile IV. Finale: Vivace
