Octet in F major Op.post.166 D 803 for Clarinet (in B-flat), Bassoon, Horn, Violin (2), Viola, Violincello, Double Bass
“I have done little new by way of lieder. In compensation I have tried my hand at severalinstrumental things, for I have composed two quartets for Violins, Viola and Violincello [A minor, D 804; D minor, D 810] and an octet [F major, D 803] and will write yet another quartet [not carried out]. Indeed, in this way Ihope to prepare the way to the full-scale symphony. The latest news in Vienna is that Beethoven will give a concert [on 7 May 1824] …I too am inclined to give a similar concert next Year, Godwilling.”
ThusSchubert, writing on 31 March 1824 to his friend Leopold Kupelwieser in Rome, in a lengthy letter whose first section is decidedly low-spirited. In order to prepare the way to the full-scalesymphony by which he doubtless meant the genre as a whole rather than any specific work he wrote string quartets and a large-scale piece of chamber music for strings and winds, taking Beethoven as hisguide.
