The Grand Sextet dates from the last decade of Eberl’s life. It is unusual for a number of reasons. First and perhaps foremost is the unusual combination of instruments: Violin, viola, cello, clarinet, horn and piano. There were few pieces at this time which called for clarinet and the those which did along with other winds such as a horn were usually divertimenti and did not include the piano. It seems likely that Eberl composed the work with himself in mind as the pianist and used it in chamber music concerts. It is in four movements. The work begins with a stately Adagio introduction which leads to the main section, Allegro vivace, in which the main theme quotes a few measures from the minuet of Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony. Next comes an subdued somewhat sad Andante molto which though not so marked is a theme and set of variations. The clarinet is given the lead with the strings supporting. The piano remains quiet for this entire first section but then is a given lengthy solo in which the theme is embellished. A fine set of variations follow. The third movement is a short Menuetto and trio. In the minuet, the strings, horn and piano take over while the clarinet sits out. But Eberl makes for this in the trio in which the clarinet is given the lead for the entire time. The rousing, toe-tapping finale, Rondo, vivace, tops off the sextet.
