Classical Music Playlist, September 6, 2023
Luigi Boccherini composed his 1771 String Quintet in E for his patron, Don Luis, the brother of the king of Spain at the time. Don Luis employed his own string quartet and, as a cellist himself, Boccherini sometimes joined the quartet which likely explains why this quintet has a second cello. Heard in movies, cartoons, TV commercials and so on, the third movement Minuetto of this quintet is one of the most recognizable pieces of classical music. This entire String Quintet is today's Midday Masterpiece.
