Franz Schubert
Octet in F major for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, and String Quintet
In the Octet in F major, Franz Schubert showcases his entire artistry. It combines lightness and depth, dance-like rhythms and intimate melodies that sound like a familiar conversation among friends. He was inspired by the famous septet of his predecessor Beethoven, but created something entirely unique: music that sounds like a great adventure, where each voice - from the string quartet to the clarinet, bassoon, and horn - brings its own character.
The Octet is not only a delight for lovers of chamber music, but also a great introduction for those who want to discover the magic of small ensembles.
