Beethoven's late works for string quartet are often described as being "sublime"....(word-play here: is that the opposite of "sub-lemon"?)
The Beethoven Opus 103 Octet for Two Oboes, Two Clarinets, Two Bassoons, and Two Horns used to be heard more frequently; perhaps it's because it's not as easy to get 8 players of the proper instrumetnation together at the same time? Tune in tonight at 7:00 for this musical monument.
Do you know the Beethoven "Septet"? Join us tonight for a recorded live-in-concert performance of this work for 3 winds and 3 strings: clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola and double bass.
