About this Concert:
Music Director Osmo Vänskä trades his conductor’s baton for his clarinet to perform alongside Minnesota Orchestra musicians in Schubert’s unique and lively Octet, an hour of music that’s jovial, warm and delightful.
SCHUBERT
Octet in F major for Strings and Winds
- Osmo Vänskä, clarinet
- Erin Keefe, violin
- Susie Park, violin
- Rebecca Albers, viola
- Anthony Ross, cello
- Kristen Bruya, bass
- Norbert Nielubowski, bassoon
- Brian Jensen, horn
More Details:
- This will mark the first Orchestra Hall performance of this euphoric chamber work by Franz Schubert.
- Although Schubert was ill and reclusive when he wrote the Octet, this music is jovial, warm and delightful, with just a few enigmatic moments scattered throughout its six movements.
- Schubert’s Octet, which is considered a companion piece to Beethoven’s well-known Septet, was commissioned by arts patron and amateur clarinetist Count Ferdinand von Troyer, who loved Beethoven’s chamber music and believed that Schubert could create similar music.
- Schubert chose to write an octet by adding one violin to Beethoven’s Septet instrumentation. In his mind, this enriched the music and made it his own.
