8. 8 The Poltronieri String Quartet, "Quartet in E Flat" Boccherini_ Boccherini, one of the greatest ’cellists | of his day and a prolific composer, is | known to most of us by one solitary piece, a minuet (which was originally part of | a string quintet). That is the fate of many a fine composer of former days. And yet. it used. to be said of Boccherini that he | was a fountain of which it was only neces- | sary to turn on the tap to produce a stream of music. He left us 467 works among which were two oratorios, al opera, and twenty symphonies — all dignified, melodious music. The present Quartet Was only one of his many chamber works. 8.24 W.
