Boccherini's Minuet String Duet - Digital Sheet Music
Boccherini's celebrated Minuet is now so often heard performed on its own that few people know its origins. The String Quintet from which it comes appears in Boccherini's autograph catalogue, dated 1771, but the immense popularity of the minuet arose somewhat later in the 19th century.Following the typical three-part form, this movement begins with the famous opening section consisting of two halves - a graceful syncopated melody for the violin with a pizzicato accompaniment on the cello, flollowed by a gentle, sighing section.The second passage moves to a plaintive minor key. It returns to the grace of the opening sections.May you enjoy and use it often.
