The Octet for wind instruments is a chamber music composition by Igor Stravinsky, completed in 1923. Stravinsky’s Octet is scored for an unusual combination of woodwind and brass instruments: flute, clarinet in B♭ and A, two bassoons, trumpet in C, trumpet in A, tenor trombone, and bass trombone. Because of its dry wind sonorities, divertimento character, and open and self-conscious adoption of "classical" forms of the German tradition (sonata, variation, fugue), as well as the fact that the composer published an article asserting his formalist ideas about it shortly after the Octet's first performance, it has been generally regarded as the beginning of neoclassicism in Stravinsky's music, even though his opera Mavra (1921–22) already displayed most of the traits associated with this phase

  • L’Octuor pour instruments à vent (W 51) pour flûte, clarinette, deux bassons, deux trompettes, deux trombones, est un octuor d'Igor Stravinsky. Composé en 1922-23, il fut créé le 18 octobre 1923 à l'Opéra de Paris aux concerts Koussevitsky sous la direction du compositeur. Il devait déclarer à propos de sa partition : « mon octuor est un pur objet sonore […] la forme dans ma musique provient directement du contrepoint ». (fr)
  • 八重奏曲(はちじゅうそうきょく、Octet)は、イーゴリ・ストラヴィンスキーが1922年から1923年にかけて作曲した室内楽曲。新古典主義時代のストラヴィンスキーは管楽器を偏重する傾向があったが、この作品も8つの管楽器のために書かれた。特異な編成は、ストラヴィンスキーが夢の中でこの編成による演奏を聴いたことに由来するという。音楽の内容は思い出せなかったが8人の演奏者の楽器は覚えていて、目が覚めた朝に早速同じ編成による作曲に取りかかったのだと語っている。 初演は1923年10月18日、パリ・オペラ座で催されたクーセヴィツキー音楽会で、ストラヴィンスキー自身が指揮して行われた。1924年にロシア音楽出版社から出版され、のち1952年に改訂版(第2楽章のテンポの一部を変更)がブージー・アンド・ホークス社から出版された。 楽譜には献辞はついていないが、後にストラヴィンスキーは当時恋愛関係にあったヴェラ(1940年に結婚)に捧げたと言っている。 (ja)
