Favorite Chamber Pieces

So I have already asked about marches and such, so I figured I would ask about chamber pieces today! So what are your favorites? I only have two, and they both happen to be composed by Strauss.

Serenade for Winds

and

Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare

The D.C. Navy band has a WONDERFUL recording of the latter! I have to say, I love all of the band lit. and such that has become available on iTunes.
