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.
