- Chamber music was music intended for
- performance in a small room or chamber,
- rather than in the concert hall, and usually
- written for instrumental combinations, played
- with one instrument to a part, as in the
- string quartet. Chamber music developed as an
- instrumental alternative to earlier music for
- voices such as the madrigal, which allowed
- accompanying instruments little freedom for
- technical display.
