Keep in mind that this was written before Mozart's piano concertos. Note the presence of woodwinds and brass. This is a VERY impressive concerto for 1768! Way ahead of its time in my opinion. Too bad Boccherini did not write more piano concertos.
Yes this was most likely composed for a harpsichord, but it is still an impressive concerto for the time it was written. I was just listening to a piano concerto by Johann Schobert that was written at about the same time, and this very similar in style.
Yes indeed. Although I listen the clear legacy of CPE Bach, especially in the second movement Just consider this: most music listener only know him for the famous (or infamous as it has been manipulated in so many disgusting ways exactly because it's famous) Minuetto from Quartet op 11/5. However he wrote so much great music and several stuff yet needs to be structurally recorded or even premiered. It did not help his fame the fact he was called - during his time - as "Haydn's wife" because his style reminds Haydn but with somehow more "gentle" Mediterranean touch.
Pietro Landri I can hear almost nothing of CPE in this piece; this is totally different from CPE’s characteristic empfindsamer Stil and I would question any ‘legacy’. As to the rest of your comment, you are absolutely right; the famous Minuet is a brilliant piece in its original context as the third movement of his lovely String Quintet Op 11 No 5, and almost anything else written by Boccherini is well worth listening to.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Boccherini wrote many symphonies, many of them are very original and powerful. "La casa del diavolo" is such a work. Indeed his style tends more to Haydn than to Mozart, and Haydn was influenced bij C PH E Bach. Nevertheless, Boccherini has his own personal style. Not as important as Haydn and Mozart, he is one of the better composers from the classical era, and many of his works deserve to be heard more often.
pietstamitz1 Agree with every word of your thoughtful and knowledgeable comment, the only thing I would question is the implied secondary link with CPE Bach to Boccherini through Haydn. Of all the composers of this period that I know, CPE whilst being widely admired and respected, is the one whose influence is the most ridiculously inflated; apart from his massively important manual on keyboard playing (the Versuch), which is the basis of modern keyboard playing, CPE’s style was too quirky and original, personal and particular, to influence anybody except Haydn who is the only composer where any real ‘influence’ can be identified. Haydn told his early biographers Griesinger and Dies that CPE had told him that he ‘...was the only composer who properly understood my teachings and knew how to make use of them’. That pretty much sums it up for me.
Let's give credit to Mr Luigi Boccherini for composing such a high quality Piano Concerto. I am among many people who didnt realise Luigi Boccherini wrote a Piano Concerto. I am very surprised indeed cos I dont know if he can play the piano or not. I only heard of his name being linked Cello pieces and nothing else.
I just go to youtube, register, then put Boccerini, or whoever, in the search bar,and can have access to that composer's available music. Then I put in my youtube folder to enjoy later. Thank you Mr. Dilfeng for this superb piano concerto.
wunderschöner Boccerini, Diese Berockmusik ist doch so beruhigend und melodiös. Man kennt und schätzt im Wesentlichen nur Mozart, Haydn, J.S.Bach, hin und wieder Vivaldis Jahreszeiten, die Romantiker und vor allen die "modernen" (also ab 1900) . Diese alten Meister werden vergessen und fast nie gespielt, dabei ist deren Musik genau so schön wie die der Klassiker. Ich bin so dankbar, daß es Leute gibt, die diese herrliche "Barockmusik" suchen, finden und über You Tube senden.
Mi piace salutare con gioia questa delizia di Luigi Boccherini in una sera pesante di pioggia.E' dimostrazione che lo spirito umano resta nel tempo a sfida di tutto ciò che può opprimere e pesare sul nostro destino.La musica più delle parole parla immediatamente al cuore e alla mente.Graziee.
Luigi Boccherini is one whose cello compositions are yet to be emulated. But this piano concerto is numero uno as well. I simply love his devotion to his works and what a legacy he left for us all.
Bravo to Boccherini for this early piano concerto. I agree that it is an impressive piece. Boccherini wrote primarily chamber music but also roughly 30 symphonies and several operas.
Beethoven's fifth Piano Concerto written two years before he was born?? - Howzzat even possible - Absolutely Brilliant! This incredible Genius of a man was full of unusual wonders and many great surprises.
Dear me; Beethoven's Emperor concerto represented by this undeniably fine but lightweight Boccherini? Now that's what a really 'rubbish' opinion sounds like. Letting your enthusiasms cloud your truly critical ear is never a good thing...
@@bloodgrss You didn't get the point of the comment at all ! And why do you so readily speak as any simple minded literalist would, quick to dole out negative criticisms, in displaying a lack of any creative imagination whatsoever? Any simple minded fool can snap to a quick judgement, as you did; without even comprehending the purpose, import and veiled implication of the comment. Try thinking outside of the narrow box of Rubbish, you so easily hand out .....and then "maybe" you'll get an inkling. Nor do I possess a "critical ear " as you so arrogantly assume; but you certainly have a "critical judgmental mind" -as demonstrated!
Boccherin is truly astounding and magnificent. Maldere significantly influenced Boccherin, Johann Schobert,..,Anton Zimmermann , Wanhal, Joseph and Michael Haydn and A. Mozart, Ditersdorf. While van Maldere's chamber music shows late-baroque characteristics and Corelli's influence, his violin sonatas and symphonies testify to the formation of the early classical "Viennese" symphony. Van Maldere's works circulated throughout Europe in manuscript parts as well as in print. Manuscripts of his works are found in 21 libraries in 10 countries. Van Maldere's compositions were printed by publishers in London, Paris, Dublin and Brussels; even after his death reprints. A number of his works were attributed to other composers, such as Joseph Haydn, Josef Mysliviček..
Très sympathique concerto, primesautier d'entrée de jeu. Une leçon d'orchestre dont les musiciens postérieurs se souviendront. Avec gaieté et mélancolie légère du second mouvement, bien conduit...
Aan Anna Van Houtte: Of het nu om Boccherini, " Pokorny", gaat of een andere is, één iets staat vast: klassieke radiozenders en concertorganisatoren ontlopen de verpletterende verantwoordelijkheid zulk werk onder de aandacht te brengen. Een ware SCHANDE!
klopt, hoewel de grote meesters uiteindelijk wel belangrijker zijn. maar er is zoveel moois gecomponeerd in die tijd, dat origineel, prachtig, en zeer geinspireerd is, en dat is zeker de moeite waard gespeeld en gehoord te worden, en niet alleen maar om hun rol in de ontwikkeling van de muziek en hun invloed op de grote meesters te laten horen, maar vooral ook als geniale en prachtige muziek op zichzelf. Als liefhebber van juist deze muziek moet ik wel zeggen dat we meer daarvan horen dan ooit: veel cd-opnames en You Tube.
El estilo galante rococó propio del clasicismo dieciochesco predominó en las obras de este periodo de la música. Mozart y Haydn fueron los maestros indiscutibles de esta forma de composición musical.
I did not know that Boccherini had written piano concertos. I only know that, at he very end of his life after the beginning of French Revolution, he wrote piano and string quintets - probably the first significant of their own after the harpsichord quintets of Padre Soler - - some of them dedicated to the "peuple français".
L'œuvre concertante de Luigi Boccherini ne se limite pas à ses concertos pour violoncelle, comme en témoigne ce concerto pour piano, tel que Mozart aurait pu l'écrire. On remarquera dans le thème et variations qui tient lieu de final, la variation mineure écrite non pas dans le ton homonyme, mais au ton relatif.
***** Non non c'est vraiment très simple ! En fait quand on part d'une gamme de référence (par exemple Do majeur pour faire simple) la gamme relative (qui sera par définition mineure et inversement la gamme relative d'une gamme mineure est majeure) sera La mineur. On prend le Do et on descend d'une tierce mineure (qui se compose de 1,5 tons) nous avons donc do-si ( 1/2 ton) + si-la (1 ton) et voici la gamme relative mineure ! :) Sachant que c'est exactement la même chose pour passer d'une gamme mineure à sa relative majeure. Voilà voilà en espérant avoir pu éclairer un peu les mystères du solfège ^^
Was this concerto really written for piano or for harpsichord ? 1768 sounds very early for a piano work. The new piano technique was not yet well established before the 1770-ies, and the existing pianos were very few.
An early concerto-with more distinction than many here without ever reaching the heights of Mozart or even Haydn's best...still not surprisingly written for what could have been a harpsichord...
Veronique Giraud Debatable; this work displays many of the features that led to Boccherini acquiring the (very unfair!) contemporary nickname of ‘wife of Haydn’ (La femme d’Haydn).
@@frauncisshakespeare438 No, Frauncis, I did. Sorry you are so fanboy attached to this fine but slight work. Beethoven??? Like trying to pass off Beaumont or Fletcher as Shakespeare! Shall we call you Sir Francis Bacon from now on? ;-)
We are in 1768, much time before the best piano concerto by Haydn (Hob.XVIII:11), written more or less around 1782, whose style was already obsolete at that time and clearly surpassed by Mozart's and other ones', including Boccherini's.

WQ673: This music is not in the baroque style, which was already 'passé' by 1768.

Superbe découverte le premier mouvement est une entrée en matière avec un souffle ample qui rappelle les concerti de HAYDN
It's so relaxing, touching and regal. Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you very much, KuhlauDilfeng, for the beautiful upload, You have so many rare and wonderful videos on your channel, Im still exploring ...

Thanks for posting this concerto! I did not know that Boccherini wrote a piano concerto. I really enjoy this!
Gioia e tecnica compositiva. Interpetri ottimi
What a great recording! Period accurate instruments with the winds, brass, and pianoforte especially appreciated!
Excellent work of Boccherini......i liked it so much. thanks for uploading.

Un piano concerto de Boccherini eso si va a estar bueno.
Boccherini.1743-1805.compuso también doce quintetos para piano y veintsiete sonatas violin y piano.
Jordi Fuentes Andres :no sabia que habia compuesto todo eso.gracias por el dato.
Fantastic piece, thank you Boccherini

My heart is blessed with joy. Fantastic interpretation.
Very enjoyable.
A música é bela, a ilustração da fiandeira é sublime.
Vind het jammer dat hij niet meerdere pianoconcerten heeft geschreven.
Eigenlijk is het een clavecimbelconcert maar inderdaad erg jammer.
Just learning about this composer. Thanks for sharing, I am liking his work very much.
Very exciting and tuneful. I love the variety of instruments in this piano concerto.
Truly brilliant-thanks for post.
