Program Notes
The source of this piece is Beethoven’s Septet, Op. 20, a piece which is also present in an arrangement for wind octet. In this case, the arrangement for wind band is by Bernhard Crusell, who was a celebrated clarinet player and a contemporary of Beethoven.
- Program Note from publisher
One of Beethoven's first works to achieve wide popularity was his Septet in E-flat, Op. 20, for clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, violincello and double bass. The first sketches were made in 1799 and the whole work was completed in 1800. Combinations of wind and string instruments playing relatively lengthy suite-like composition were much in vogue at the time.
The Septet is a composite of several styles and embodies a number of musical forms. It is in six movements, suggesting the divertimenti which was so popular in Vienna from around 1760 onward.
