‘I have written very few new songs, but instead I have tried my hand at several kinds of instrumental music and composed two string quartets and an octet (...) the latest news in Vienna is that Beethoven is giving a concert, at which his new symphony, three selections from the new Mass, and a new overture are to be performed.’ – Schubert writing to his friend Leopold Kupelwieser in Rome on 31 March 1824 ~ referring to his own String Quartets ‘Rosamunde’ ‘Death and the Maiden’ and his epic Octet for Strings and Winds as well as Beethoven’s newly completed Ninth Symphony, his Consecration of the House Overture, and his Missa Solemnis.
