Gosh this NTT is a real stumper for me. 20th century, maybe a woodwind quintet (though I don't think I heard a horn). Stravinskyish bits abound, but it's way too groovy for Stravinsky imo.

Somehow between the piece and the clue, I have a sneaking suspicion this may be a piece that I just heard in concert (but don't remember a note of 😬) Because I have such a low confidence interval, I'll write my guess here (and because my punishment will be embarrassment if I'm wrong). Could it be the Carl Nielsen Quintet?

Among the tiny amount of chamber music I have ever performed is actually the Nielsen quintet, and I don't think this is it. I'll travel along the Baltic coast and guess Gorecki?
