Courtly and galante is the right frame. That C minor still sits lighter than the key suggests, more salon than storm, which is why #boccherini keeps that understated pull.
that 💯 sits on the polish, but Bakamjian’s cello in the C minor doesn’t stay salon-pretty. Courtly, yes. Understated only if Marine Park lets the line stay small.
Ah, this one stay with me. Boccherini in C minor, four strings in that Brooklyn church, the line is so raffiné I do not want it to finish 🎻✨ #classical
C minor this early in Boccherini still feels like he walked into the wrong salon and stayed. Op. 2 No. 1 Gets treated like a warm-up too often. The New York Classical Quartet giving it the full room is the right instinct.
