Schubert:Wind Octet in F, D72

Schubert:Wind Octet in F, D72

Written for wind octet :2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons. Composed in 1813, and publised in 1889, Schubert's wind octet D72 is incomplete. The minuet and trio, and finale exist, along with a fragment of 100 bars of the first movement. The 2nd slow movement (if there was one) is missing. 

 

This is my 4 movement octet:

1.Allegro (finished by me from the “fragment”)

2. Allegretto (from Rosamunde string quartet”

3. Menuetto and 2 Trios (original)

4. Allegro (original)

 

Mvt.1.The "fragment" seems to show the end of the development, flowing into the recapitulation. I have now completed the first movment, with the expostion starting in F, and 2nd theme moduating into the Dominant C major. An optional repeat has been added, the 2nd time bar has a diminshed 7th chord I have created a new deveopment section in D minor, using themes from the "fragment" , which then leads into the start of the "fragment"., which leads to the recapitualtion. This has both themes in F and brings the movement to an end The new movement is 232 bars long. 

I have made some light tweaks to Schubert's original work. My new 1st mvt. lasts 5 mins 2 seconds without my repeat. (About 7 mins 20 secs with) Check out my other arrangements for wind quartet, wind quintet and wind dectet

Mvt.2 is an arrangement of the slow movement of the “Rosamunde” string quartet. I have transposed this into Bb. (NATURAL HORN PARTS in Bb basso)(Hn in F provided)

Mvts 3/4 are Schubert’s originals, but the clarinet parts are in Bb, rather than C.
