I really don't remember if it was 1 or 3, but I heard Gervaise
play it, and he ate it for lunch. I bought a copy of the piano
reduction and remember the piano part being in 3 flats, which
means c minor. So it probably is number 1. A terrific piece by
a composer whose music is heard less and less. And of all the
chamber pieces for 7-10 players using strings and winds, the
Spohr octet has always been one of my favorites. It's the one
with two horns and I think two violas. It has a set of variations
on the Harmonious Blacksmith that are out of this world.

Mm, they're all good, I find. But the one in C minor is the
first concerto,
the third being in F minor. Which one did you mean, Dan?
