# Conversation with Graeme Steele Johnson, David Shifrin and Bridget Kibbey

Graeme Steele Johnson, David Shifrin and Bridget Kibbey speak with the Library’s David Plylar about their performance of octets by Debussy, Loeffler and Schubert. Topics include Johnson’s octet arrangement of Debussy’s “Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune,” Schubert’s monumental octet, and Johnson’s new edition of Charles Loeffler’s “Octet”–last known to have been performed in 1897 before it was resurrected in performance in 2024. The Library of Congress holds the holograph score and parts for Loeffler’s “Octet.”
