Larger works that incorporate the double bass include Beethoven's Septet in E-flat major, Op. 20, one of his most famous pieces during his lifetime, which consists of clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello, and bass.
When the clarinetist Ferdinand Troyer commissioned a work from Franz Schubert for similar forces, he added one more violin for his Octet in F major, D. 803.
In the realm of even larger works, Mozart included the double bass in addition to 12 wind instruments for his " Gran Partita " Serenade, K. 361 and Martinů used the double bass in his nonet for wind quintet, violin, viola, cello and double bass.
