Thanks for posting it. Nobody can deny that in majority of cases the piano is interpreted as an accompaniment instrument. But first, other non-fixed pitch instruments may be similarly interpreted. Have you listen to the early sonatas for violin and piano by Mozart? (Actually the real titles are: The sonatas for the PIANO and violin). In these compositions the violin, rather than the piano, is the accompaniment. Second, I think your categorization of likeness of certain combinations of instruments doesn't have to do with the artistic value of music. I am sure that one can write beautiful music for any combination of instruments through the avoidance of the traditional functional differentiation of these instruments.
