	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 further associated himself with Spanish music by writing a zarzuela to a libretto by Ramon de la Cruz, entitled Clementina, which was privately performed at Madrid in 1778.
