Prinz Louis Ferdinand - Octet, Op. 12 (c. 1805)

[@JLeeGraham]

This is nothing short of a masterpiece. What a loss to music that he died so young, and that he was evidently too busy soldiering to leave us more to admire and enjoy. What rich and unusual instrumentation...makes me want to write something for the same ensemble!

Thank you- we love you so much. Because of people like you, classical music will last forever.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses fein komponierten Oktetts in verschiedenen Tempi mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Wundervoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

Good enough!😊

The second movement is reminiscent of the second movement of Beethoven's 5th piano-sonata

Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia died in the battle of Saalfeld, in 1806.

Wasn't he a student and patron to Beethoven ? .....

[@bartjebartmans]

They were friends for sure, but if he ever was a student of Beethoven I have not found any evidence of. Maybe there is somebody out here who has more info on the subject.

[@JLeeGraham]

Didn't Beethoven dedicate one of his Piano Concertos to the Prince? The 3rd?

[@findelka1810]

@JLeeGraham He did indeed, as an esteem of him for the prince as an accomplished pianist.

Hmmmmm....very Haydn like. Quite good for a royal. :-)
