The term "organico" appears in these two sentences. Could it be translated as "ensemble"?
Thank you for your help.
Il brano che rappresenta le origini di questo **organico** è il quintetto in mi bemolle maggiore K407 di Mozart.
La cassazione in quintetto di Druschetzky, sebbene ha una forma compositiva diversa, richiama il quintetto di Mozart per l'introduzione di due viole e un solo violino in **organico**.

: so you agree 100% with Asker's own suggestion? (see question explanation). your ref doesn't back the translation, only shows the obvious: that the word 'ensemble' exists in English. That's not the prob.

suite/ensemble
in musical terms a suite is used to describe a group of musical works whereas an ensemble is used to describe a group of musical instruments, voices, actors etc.
"A group of musicians, actors, or dancers who perform together:
a Bulgarian folk ensemble"
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/ensembl...
as i read your text, the first usage refers to the tune that is the starting point for the "suite" of music, whereas the second refers to an "ensemble" of viola and violins

Discussion
Comunque, trattandosi di piccoli gruppi ("quintetto"), non mi pare che si possa derogare da tale termine usando orchestra. Se non, come dice Solinas con "group" (nel secondo caso "into the group of instruments").
