about

In his time Anton Reicha was regarded as an important composer and influential theorist. Beethoven’s friend and Haydn’s protégé, only his chamber works (notably those featuring wind instruments) are available today on modern editions. We present three examples with the Octet (Vienna, 1807), close to a pre-Romantic chamber symphony, the Variations for Bassoon (Paris, 1818) and the ‘Grand Quintetto’ for Horn (Paris, 1828), both with ‘accompagnement de cordes’, basic string quartet of course, but thought out of terms of a concerto for high-level wind soloists and string orchestra. Today, these pleasant chamber works, featuring virtuoso demonstrations of timbre and, are brought together for the first time, offering a taste of ‘modern’ wind instruments, used at the same time by Berlioz, one of Reicha’s pupils.
