I did a search of the archives and came up with zilch.
Anyone have experience playing or hearing the Zich Octet for winds and strings? Has same instrumentation as the Schubert 8tet.
Zich was a late 19th century, early 20th century Czech amateur (?) composer and professional aesthetician, apparently.

You could email Michael Bryant, whose Rosewood Publications provides an edition.
Details in the 'help' section of the Clarinet Pages.

Mr. Pay,
did you mean John Wilcox? I read his article about the Zich and Rheinberger Octets in the Cobbett Assocation newsletter. He seems to have provided a copy of the manuscript to Rosewood and worked on the edition.
Aside from background about the work and some description of its qualities ("replete with folk melodies"), I was wondering if anyone had yet had a chance to play the piece and could comment more on its quality.
It's great to be able to add to the limited repetoire of the Shubert Octet instrumentation, but it would be even better if the newly rediscovered works were better than mediocre (which I'm not assuming to be the case with Otakar Zich, just trying to find out).
In the end, maybe I'll have to take the plunge and buy the parts from Rosewood, play it with my chamber music friends, and answer my own questions.
