Illustrated talk by Misha Donat

No piece by Schubert pays clearer homage to his greatest contemporary, Beethoven, than his Octet  one of his most irresistibly exuberant chamber works. It was commissioned by Count Ferdinand Troyer, amateur clarinetist and chief steward to Beethovens pupil and patron Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Troyer wanted a piece modeled on Beethovens Septet, Op. 20, and Schubert duly scored his music for an almost identical ensemble. He also mirrored Beethovens six-movement scheme  even prefacing each of the outer movements with a slow introduction. And as in the Beethoven, the works centerpiece is a set of variations. This being Schubert, the variation theme comes from one of his vocal compositions: a duet in a Singspiel he had composed at the age of eighteen.
