The diligent in the shadow of the master. Both Beethoven and Anton Reicha were born 250 years ago and they were actually friends as young musicians in Bonn before their respective careers took them in different directions.

While Beethoven took a horse and carriage to Vienna, Reicha was attracted more by Paris where he became a distinguished professor of composition. As a skilled flutist, he wrote many works for wind instruments, high quality chamber music, with which every ambitious wind player has developed technically by playing his works.

By adding some strings it is possible to play Louise Farrenc’s irresistible nonet from 1849, the musician and composer who was also a piano professor in Paris . The final piece of the puzzle is the English prodigy Ruth Gipps, a skilled oboist who also knew how to write for wind instruments.
