Septets

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Conradin Kreutzer & Sebastian Manz & Theo Plath & Felix Klieser & Franziska Hölscher & Haesue Lee & Andrei Ioniţă & Dominik Wagner

Septet in E-flat major, Op. 20 is a chamber work by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1799–1800 and first published in 1802. Scored for a mixed wind-and-string ensemble, it combines classical clarity and balanced textures with expanded harmonic language and lyrical, episodic writing, occupying a transitional place between Beethoven's early period and his more adventurous middle-period compositions.
