Octets

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Woldemar Bargiel & Divertimenti

The Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20, is a string octet by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1825. The work combines classical chamber textures with youthful virtuosity, expanding the ensemble to eight strings and representing a significant point in Mendelssohn's early output for its inventive handling of form, counterpoint and orchestral-like sonorities.
