Riko Fukuda - fortepiano, Franc Polman - violin, Elisabeth Smalt - viola, Jan Insinger - Cello, Pieter Smithuijsen - contrabas

The Nepomuk Fortepiano Quintet was founded in 1999 by Riko Fukuda and Pieter Smithuijsen to play music for the unusual combination of fortepiano, violin, viola, cello and double bass.
For most listeners this instrumentation is associated primarily with Schubert's Trout Quintet. It is much less well known that Schubert was not the first composer to write for this combination; several others preceded him, including Johann Nepomuk Hummel, whose quintet is said to have given Schubert the idea to write for these five instruments, and in whose honour the Nepomuk Fortepiano Quintet is named.
