Octet D.803

Album by Franz Schubert & Academy of Ancient Music

The Octet in F major, D.803 is an octet by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. Scored for clarinet, bassoon, horn, two violins, viola, cello and double bass, it blends Classical-era chamber textures with expansive Romantic-era lyricism and contrapuntal writing, marking a culmination of Schubert's late chamber output and a move toward larger-scale instrumental forms in the early Romantic period.
