Luigi Boccherini - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

Elisabeth Le Guin coined the term “carnal musicology” in her book titled for this composer’s “Body.” For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this composer who wrote an E-flat major cello sonata that is the focus of Le Guin’s book’s first chapter. This Italian composer is better known for the oft-excerpted third movement of his String Quintet in E major.

ANSWER: Luigi Boccherini (“bo-keh-REE-nee”) [or Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini]

[10e] The third movement of Boccherini’s E major string quintet is known as his “celebrated” piece in this genre. Romantic symphonies replaced this triple-meter French court dance with a third-movement scherzo.

ANSWER: minuet [or minuetto]

[10h] Le Guin discusses Boccherini’s extensive use of this technique, which he signals with a clef change in his manuscripts. This technique requires shifting the left hand out from behind the cello’s neck to facilitate playing in the instrument’s higher range.
