Boccherini was quite isolated in Spain. In the palace where he served as a cellist and compossre, there was a quartet. Hence the astonixhing number of quartets with two cellos. When a virtuoso went there, he wrote for him. These quintats are provavly linked to a player of contrabass coming for a while.

The Contrabass adds just the right feeling, I guess the modern ear yearns for the bass in small group settings. Such pleasing music.

Just a great composer - on par with Vivaldi and Mozart. Thanks for posting!

[@stefanstamenic3640]

His style is at once alert, masterful and elegant. We find all the styles in his work, styles always corresponding exactly to the specific character of the instruments for which he writes; he thus occupies one of the first places among the greatest composers having written for the violin or cello. He has no qualms about repeating the same element several times, simply for the beauty of the sounds - one plays a full string, the other a pizzicato, and everything becomes color and bliss.

My String Quintet is playing the G339 now and it's a wonderful piece! Thank you for sharing this!

Linda música de Boccherini, especial para relajarse antes de irse a dormir, con esas bellas melodías y hermosos sonidos armónicos. ❤️

[@gerardbegni2806]

The double bass changes completely the equilibbrium of tones in the quintet, and hence the writing of the parts above it. If not very innovative; these works are very well written and balanced. Boccherini had indeed an acute sense of the equilibium of strings chamber formations whatever thay may be.

[@harryandruschak2843]

The double bass DOES help out. Probably why Mozart asked for one in his serenade #10

[@jorgeaguirre7260]

Pure genius!

Music to write by!

[@ChrisHamlen]

I've only been able to locate manuscript parts. Any idea if there are printed parts? Or any idea how to contact any former members of Ensemble 415?

[@macrobbair]

is there a helicopter in the pic - centre right?

[@JimAult]

Mark Roberts Not Likely.. this is a painting by an artist who died in 1900..(unless of course his nickname was Leonardo DaVinci, visionary) If you do a Google image search you can see a lot of variations out there on web pages. Frederic Edwin Church was an American landscape painter born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, perhaps best known for painting ... Wikipedia Born: May 4, 1826, Hartford, CT Died: April 7, 1900, Locust Valley, NY Timeline: In 1928, Hungarian aviation engineer Oszkár Asbóth constructed a helicopter prototype that took off and landed at least 182 times, with a maximum single flight duration of 53 minutes

[@harryandruschak2843]
