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.

The clarinet is central to the compositions on tonight's "Music Mountain".  Alexander Fiterstein is featured. His playing was praised by the New York Times for its 'beautiful liquid clarity'.

When you tune in to hear the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's broadcasts, you hear their theme music. That theme music will be played in its entirety on tonight's program!

The first work tonight takes six players; the second is a trio, the third and fifth are quintets and the 4th work tonight is a string quartet. Join us!
