As these two links suggest, I've been using TITLE + PART for years.  
It's easy to make work in foobar2000 (which is why I use it even in 
Linux).  For example:

Title=Piano quartet No. 2, Op. 45 in G minor
Part=4. Allegro molto

Agreed (though I always use PERFORMER instead of ENSEMBLE).  So for the 
track above, I have:

Artist=Fauré, Gabriel
Composer=Fauré, Gabriel
Performer=Ma, Yo-Yo
Performer=Ax, Emanuel
Performer=Stern, Isaac
Performer=Laredo, Jaime

I also use CONDUCTOR, LYRICIST, and ARRANGER as appropriate.
