Franz Berwald’s reputation rests largely on the four symphonies that he composed in the first half of the 1840s, and more particularly on the highly original and aptly named Sinfonie singulière. The chamber music, with the possible exception of the Grand Septet of 1828, maintains a more peripheral hold on the repertory and is rarely encountered in the concert hall outside the composer’s native Sweden.
