Quintet for Piano and Winds, op. 16, Septet, op. 20

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & České noneto & Ivan Klánský

Quintet for Piano and Winds, Op. 16 and Septet, Op. 20 are chamber works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1796 and 1799–1800 respectively. Both pieces are rooted in the Classical chamber-music tradition: the Quintet for piano and winds foregrounds conversational writing between piano and wind instruments, while the larger Septet uses a mixed ensemble of strings and winds to explore expanded textures and formal variety that mark Beethoven's early-period development from his Classical models.

First released: 1st February 2003
