About this arrangement

Chamber Ensemble Winds (Parts) SKU: HL.51480562 Composed by Franz Schubert. Edited by Peter Jost. Sheet Music. Paperbound. Henle Music Folios. Classical. Paperbound. 158 pages. G. Henle #HN562. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480562). ISBN 9790201805627. UPC: 888680044213. 12.25x9.5x0.48 inches.The model for this composition was Beethoven's Septet op. 20, whose Divertimento character and six-part layout were adopted by Schubert, although he merely expanded the instrumentation by adding a second violin. In a letter he numbered his octet amongst the chamber music works with which he desired to blaze a “path to the great symphony.” It can no longer be ascertained whether the composition was commissioned by Count Ferdinand Troyer, who had a musical salon in Vienna and played the clarinet. We only know that Schubert composed the work at the beginning of 1824, taking only a few weeks to do so and that it was shortly performed at Troyer's afterwards. Today it is one of the most popular larger chamber music works.
