Octet in F major

Album by Franz Schubert & Schweizer Oktett

Octet in F major is an octet by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. The work is a large-scale chamber composition from Schubert's mature period, scored for winds and strings in an octet formation, and has expansive symphonic textures, prominent wind writing, frequent shifts in mood and long melodic lines that extend classical chamber forms toward early Romantic expression.
