Beffa describes his new ensemble work as "a long progression after an almost motionless opening." Through the course of its eleven minutes, Octopus turns from "a gloomy character, with dark, wild harmonies running through it" to "a hectic swirl that finally bursts into the brightest pyrotechnics." Octopus is scored for double saxophone quartet, optionally with a third alto and one bass. For advanced performers.
