	Luigi Boccherini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boccherini is mostly known for one particular minuet from his String Quintet in E, Op.
		Boccherini was born in Lucca, Italy, in a musical family.
		Boccherini's style is characterized by the typical Rococo charm, lightness, and optimism, and exhibits much melodic and rhythmic invention, coupled with frequent influences from the guitar tradition of his adopted country, Spain.

	Luigi Boccherini - an overview of the classical composer
		Boccherini was a contemporary of Joseph Haydn and their music bears some similarities since both composers wrote in the predominant style of the day which established the Classical Period.
		Boccherini created pieces which were pleasant and melodic, and largely undemanding of the listener, although he demonstrated a certain creativity in his ready assimilation of some of the musical elements of his adopted homeland.
		One of Boccherini's achievements was to demonstrate the expressive potential of the cello, and this instrument is often the most prominent in his string quartets and quintets (where he utilised 2 violins, 2 cellos and a viola).

		Boccherini proved to be an extremely skilled pupil, and in 1757 he was sent to Roma to perfect his technique under expert instruction.
		The last years of Boccherini's life were spent in appalling poverty, which he tried to alleviate by doing hack-work, such as arrangements of his own works for the guitar at the request of some rich patrons.
		While few of Boccherini's compositions are performed today (with the notable exception of the famous minuet from his String Quintet in E major, Opus 13 n.5), his name is very important in musical development.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Boccherini Biography
		Boccherini's output was considerable and includes 91 string quartets, (by way of comparison, Haydn wrote 84, Mozart 23, and Shostakovich 15); 30 symphonies (Haydn wrote 104, Mozart 41, and Shostakovich 15) ; 137 quintets for various combinations of strings, multitudes of trios, keyboard quintets, sextets, and sonatas; two operas, and a mass.
		Boccherini's father was a professional double bass player and began teaching young Luigi cello at a very early age (fatherly pride had to be put aside since the bass would have simply been too large for the toddler to handle).
		Boccherini and Haydn are generally credited with established the string quartet form; to hear how this form developed, listen to the Classical Music Archives files of quartets by Haydn, Beethoven, and Debussy.

		The reputation of Boccherini rivalled that of Haydn, if the nick- name "the wife of Haydn" may be accepted as evidence of contemporary fame.
		Boccherini is popularly known as the composer of the famous Minuet, taken from one of his quintets, written for a string quartet with an additional cello.
		Of Boccherini's eleven surviving cello concertos the Concerto No. 7 in G major is probably the best known, closely rivalled by a B flat Cello Concerto arranged by the 19th century cellist Grützmacher.

		The result is a hybrid that was born in the Eighteenth Century, was modified according to Nineteenth Century tastes, and has somehow stumbled through the Twentieth Century without being either restored or reimproved.
		The second movement, as far as Boccherini ever knew, was from a different one of his cello concertos.
		In the Grützmacher rendition, the movement is more overtly emotional than might have been typical during the time of composition; but, in any case, the movement provides the soloist with an opportunity for great lyricism.

		The tour continued to Madrid in 1768 or 1769, where Boccherini received a post as composer and cellist at the court of the Infante Don Luis.
		Boccherini composed 125 string quintets (nearly all scored for two cellos rather than two violas), about 100 string quartets, more than fifty string trios, eleven cello concertos, twenty-nine symphonies, other orchestral music, Masses, cantatas, and many secular vocal works.
		The Gérard thematic catalog was compiled partly on the basis of a catalog that the composer had prepared of his own works; many of these were lost in 1936 in the Spanish Civil War.

		Boccherini's works for guitar were all originally composed for other instruments; he later transposed them for a guitar-playing client.
		Boccherini's string quartets have been receiving well-merited attention lately on disc, especially from the Borciani Quartet on Naxos (worth investigating also), but Biondi has picked out a quartet that hasn't been recorded lately, at least as far as I know.
		Here, Boccherini wished to portray the advance and recession of a night patrol in Madrid, and so the members of Europa Galante "proceed" across the soundstage from left to right, taking center stage for a powerful rendition of the middle variations of the movement before receding out of "sight" at last.

	Luigi Boccherini -- An Unjustly Neglected Great Composer for the Cello
		All Boccherini Sonatas, by the way, were written for "Violoncello e Basso," which actually means cello with a second cello, not a keyboard.
		As Boccherini's basses are not figured, writing a piano accompaniment implies inventing some sort of harmony which often, in many editions, is not in style.

		Most of Boccherini's technical resources proved useless to Haydn, and resemblances occur only in Haydn's earliest works (e.g.
		Where Haydn uses any fraction of the resources of such a style, the ultimate effect is in proportion to a purpose of which Boccherini, with all his genuine admiration of his elder brother in art, could form no conception.

		Though he was born in Lucca to a musical family, by the time he was 14 he'd travelled to Vienna to play in an orchestra there, and it was there that he first encountered the music of Franz Joseph Haydn, who was Boccherini's senior by nearly 19 years.
		Boccherini admired Haydn greatly, and was strongly influenced by Haydn's style.
		Boccherini's 30 symphonies suffer in comparison with Haydn's and Mozart's, as do everyones from this period, but they are always pleasant, inviting, and sometimes surprisingly inventive.

		Words are difficult to find to adequately describe Boccherini's genius but no better praise can be given than the recognition that every painter since has made a sojourn to study his works.
		Pietro Filippo Boccherini was born in 1403 of the poorest of poor, in the countryside far from the comings and goings of the great Florentine center.
		So, it is truly a miracle that, as a boy, Boccherini would find himself under the wings of the great painter, Verdi, and living in Florence.

	Boccherini's Body
		In this elegant study of the works of the undeservedly neglected composer Luigi Boccherini, Elisabeth Le Guin uses knowledge gleaned from her own playing of the cello as the keystone of her original approach to the relationship between music and embodiment.
		In analyzing the striking qualities of Boccherini's music--its virtuosity, repetitiveness, obsessively nuanced dynamics, delicate sonorities, and rich palette of melancholy affects--Le Guin develops a historicized critical method based on the embodied experience of the performer.
		A CD of sound examples, performed by the author and her string quartet, is included with the book.
