Boulogne: Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 3: No. 1

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

BIG UP RESPECT TO A GREAT BLACK COMPOSER !!! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PIECES BY ST. GEORGE .

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT !!!!

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

BRILLIANT !

[@jamesgibson2179]

It matters not that the Chevalier was black. What IS important that he was a genius and that he had a very interesting life and cultural background.

[@synergyhowacquisition3821]

Anthony Vaughan, George was a moor/m"uur"... not a black corporate fiction")

[@wcsxwcsx]

A delicate sound from these period instruments.

[@almayahsharala1691]

Excellent Composition and violinist!!

[@wendellterry1013]

Absolutely superb! You can easily see why Mozart would want to borrow Bologne's style in Classical music composition...

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT MOZART WAS INPIRED BY ST.GEORGE !

[@synergyhowacquisition3821]

both Mozart and George's were moors/mu"urs.

[@HealingThroughInspiration]

Excellent pieces.

[@crcanassr]

Please, no more 'Mozart Black'. Joseph Boulogne influenced Mozart and he should be judged by his own merits as a great composer. Neither 'black' a racist term based on a social construct, nor Mozart apply. Both terms are diminishing and insulting. Just call him by his name, Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, as you would call other greats such as Beethoven.

[@arkamukhopadhyay9111]

Except that he is not anywhere near as great as Mozart or Beethoven, although certainly very, very good. He literally was black, so bizarre to say that's a racist term, and overall, calling him the black Mozart only does him honour.

[@crcanassr]

You are so right.

[@barry4887]

@@crcanassr nice ! I see what you did there.

[@barry4887]

@Arka Mukhopadhyay; IMHO, Joseph Boulogne,Chevalier de Saint-George was a Great and Versatile composer, violinist, conductor based in Paris, fencing champion, colonel of a regiment during the revolution, not to mention “drop dead” handsome. No wonder people had been and are presently jealous of him & his accomplishments. Attempts to diminish the man and his work are damned to failure.

[@harryikiriko6161]

You may think he's not great, but that's due to racism.

[@ReginaMariaBdosSantos]

Faz bem para a alma.....encantador.....

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

PURE BRILLIANCE !!!!! BEFORE HIS TIME !

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT !!!!

[@antimatter3231]

[@pathorne1]

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Very galant

[@mariagraziazollo9180]

Wonderful. I share on FB ❤️

[@roybrowne1974]

masterpiece mozart did infact barrowed from bologne and so did most of the greats that came after him

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

YES HIDDEN HISTORY

[@debbbievancuylenburg2267]

Since his music was been destroyed, I think he Mozart made a vow to Saint George that he would make sure history won’t forget him and made adjustments to pass the music off as his ( Mozart).

[@arkamukhopadhyay9111]

Actually, his music is very, very well preserved. Within the bounds of those times, he was also extremely successful and respected, in fact fawned upon.

[@yumihwang4802]

Who wrote the candenzas?

[@Manu-ef2hk]

This concerts are not earlier than 1770 or 1771. At that time Mozart was composing, for example, the infinitely superior Symphony No 13 K.112, was only fifteen and of course sufficiently intelligent to learn from everybody... Boulogne and early Mozart sound similar: of course, same time. Influences on Mozart? dozens I suppose, he travelled all around Europe: Mannheim, London, Italy, Paris... Bologne was a talented musician, Mozart was a genius.

THANK YOU / SHALOM !

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

ST . GEORGE WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF MOZART/ YOU COULD SAY MOZART WAS INSPIRED BY HIM !!

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT .

[@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

The story has been told that Mozart was quite jealous and quite extroverted about it. Mr. Chevalier's playing was far more superior than Mozart's. I don't understand why he is taught about along side Mozart? Damn shame

[@arkamukhopadhyay9111]

@@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST err.. Mozart was primarily a keyboard player (the modern piano did not exist back then), Boulogne was a violinist. So where exactly is this "superiority" coming from? And no, musically he's not within lightyears of Mozart's genius.

[@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

@@arkamukhopadhyay9111 you tried that if it wasn't for st. G we wouldn't have many of his elegant works. Chv. Was the Galante style!. Don't sleep on chevalier.

[@YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

Stop sleeping on my black composers

What is that building? It has the color of Caucasian skin.

[@ahoj7720]

This is the Hôtel de Soubise (1709), now the French Archives nationales in the Marais district of Paris.

[@nealbaker7991]

I agree about the building's color but how in heck did that occur to you?
