Quintet in E flat for Piano and Winds is the common name of a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with the Köchel number of 452.

It is written for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. It is in three movements:

  • I. Largo - Allegro moderato
  • II. Larghetto
  • III. Allegretto

This structure closely resembles that of a typical sonata. The first movement is a sprightly sonata form Allegro, with themes being passed from instrument to instrument, usually with the piano introducing a theme and accompanying while the oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon play variations on it. The Larghetto movement is typical of the 2nd movement of any Mozart piece: soft and gentle, yet still engaging. The Allegretto movement is similar in structure to the first movement only faster.
