Hubert Parry's Nonet in B-flat major for nine wind instruments is a composition for chamber ensemble composed around 1877.
Not performed in the composers lifetime, it remained unpublished until 1988 when Edition Compusic published the work under the posthumous opus number 70.
[1] The first mention of the composition is in a letter dating from Autumn of 1877 to Parry's then-teacher Edward Dannreuther where he referred to the work as "..an experiment...".
[2][3] Dibble notes that Parry continued to work on the Nonet into February 1878, and suggests that the composer may have considered having members of the Crystal Palace Orchestra perform it.
[3] The composition is scored for flute, oboe, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons.
