Mendelssohn: Octet for Strings

For the second series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria will focus on a composition written in 1825 by German composer Felix Mendelssohn when he was 16 years old.

Octet for Strings is written for four violins, two violas and two cellos and is known for the fluidity of its melody, making it a favourite with string players and chamber music lovers. Throughout this composition, each of the eight instruments are used a bit differently to achieve maximum musical contrast.
