The Octet for Strings in C major, Op. 7, and the Decet for Winds in D major, Op. 14 are chamber works by Romanian composer George Enescu, composed in 1900 and 1906 respectively. Musically, both pieces blend late-Romantic harmonic language and folk-influenced melodic material with contrapuntal complexity and sectional forms, illustrating Enescu's synthesis of Romanian folk idioms with French and Germanic chamber traditions and marking a phase in his early-career development.
