The Wind Octet in E-flat major by Ludwig van Beethoven, Opus 103, is a work for two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, and two horns. Despite its high Opus number, it was written from 1792–1793, during Beethoven's early period. Beethoven later reworked and expanded the Octet as his first String Quintet, Op. 4. [1]

The work contains four movements:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante
  3. Menuetto
  4. Presto
