Norfolk and Norwich Chamber Series: Schubert's Octet
The Philharmonia Chamber Players perform Schubert's Octet, D803, at the Norfolk and Norwich Chamber Music Series.
Schubert was commissioned in 1824 by Count Ferdinand Troyer, a clarinettist and courtier of Archduke Rudolf of Austria-Tuscany to write a large-scale chamber work in the style of Beethoven's popular Septet. Not wanting to imitate Beethoven directly, Schubert added an extra violin, which made unusual instrumentation of String Quartet, Double Bass, French Horn, Bassoon and Clarinet - which Troyer played at the first performance.
