The String Octet, along with the Overture to "A Summer Night's Dream," was composed by Mendelssohn when he was still in his teens.
It is one of the largest chamber music compositions, and is a masterpiece that combines the gravity of what could be called a small symphony with Mendelssohn's delicate and gentle melodies.

Mozart is said to have named a starling he bought at a market "Stahl" and loved it very much.
In his Piano Concerto No. 17, he is known to have used the song of the starling as a theme.

The flyer depicts a "Haha-chou" (a bird of prey) by the Edo painter Ito Jakuchu.
It is not a crow, but a kind of starling, and is called a hakkacho (八哥鳥) in modern times.
They were imported from China and Southeast Asia during the Edo period (1603-1867), and were kept in captivity, but I wonder if they really sang as prettily as Mozart's starlings.


Other works include Schumann's Konzertstück (small concerto) for four horns, Poulenc's Sextet, which is said to have been influenced by jazz in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, and Webern's Webern before he entered the difficult world of modern music.

Then there is Beethoven's Serenade, an unusual composition for flute, violin, and viola.
Although it is named Serenade = Night Music, it is a refreshing piece with the image of morning.
It is a hidden masterpiece that reminds us of Beethoven's true face, not only innovation.
