Chamber Symphony (Popov)
The Septet in C major, Op. 2, later retitled Chamber Symphony, is a chamber music composition by Gavriil Popov. Written in 1927, it established the young composer's reputation in the Soviet Union. The work is scored for flute, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, violin, cello and double bass, and consists of four movements: # ''Moderato cantabile'' # ''Allegro'' # ''Largo'' # ''Allegro energico'' The Chamber Symphony has usually been compared to his colleague Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1, with Alex Ross pointing that the work has "more personality and invention than anything by Shostakovich from the same period" while lacking "Shostakovich's rock-solid sense of form, his Beethovenian aura of inevitability". Also relating the work to Igor Stravinsky's ''L'Histoire du soldat'' and Paul Hindemith's Kammermusik, he praised the Largo as "absolutely magical" and the fast passages with its "rhythmic surprises, unusual tonal combinations, nasty little dances that start and stop".

Chamber Music
Chamber music is a form of classical music that is composed for a small group of instruments—traditionally a group that could fit in a palace chamber or a large room. Most broadly, it includes any art music that is performed by a small number of performers, with one performer to a part (in contrast to orchestral music, in which each string part is played by a number of performers). However, by convention, it usually does not include solo instrument performances. Because of its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as "the music of friends". For more than 100 years, chamber music was played primarily by amateur musicians in their homes, and even today, when chamber music performance has migrated from the home to the concert hall, many musicians, amateur and professional, still play chamber music for their own pleasure. Playing chamber music requires special skills, both musical and social, that differ from the skills required for playing solo or symphonic works. ...

As a composer, he became a major advocate of the ''Neue Sachlichkeit'' (new objectivity) style of music in the 1920s, with compositions such as '' Kammermusik'', including works with viola and viola d'amore as solo instruments in a neo-Bachian spirit. Other notable compositions include his song cycle '' Das Marienleben'' (1923), '' Der Schwanendreher'' for viola and orchestra (1935), the opera ''Mathis der Maler'' (1938), the '' Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber'' (1943), and the oratorio '' When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd'', a requiem based on Walt Whitman's poem (1946).
