Wind Octet with work by Ludwig Van Beethoven transcribed from 7th Symphony.
Mozart's masterful Quintet in E♭ major (K. 452) stands as one of his most exquisite chamber works. Premiering at Vienna's Imperial Court Theater in 1784, this remarkable piece showcases the composer's genius in blending piano with four distinct wind instruments - oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. Mozart himself declared it his finest composition, and indeed, the work demonstrates his extraordinary skill in crafting intricate dialogues between piano and winds, creating a tapestry of ever-changing musical colours and elegant conversations between instruments.
I. Largo – Allegro moderato (E♭ major, 4
4)
II. Larghetto (B♭ major, 3
8)
III. Allegretto (E♭ major, 2

Beethoven's Quintet in E-flat for Piano and Winds, Op. 16, composed in 1796, is a captivating work that mirrors Mozart's Quintet, K. 452, in both instrumentation and key. Featuring piano, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, Beethoven's piece extends the legacy of his predecessor while showcasing his own distinctive flair and innovation in composition.
I. Grave - Allegro ma non troppo (E-flat major)
II. Andante cantabile (B-flat major)
III. Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo (E-flat major)
