minuet, string quintet, quartet, welled up, étude

Only four years ago China was gripped by a nationalist upsurge that few in the country dared openly to question. It was triggered by anti-Chinese violence in March 2008 in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa. Plenty of Chinese divined Western support for the rioters. China’s preparations to hold the Olympic Games that August further fuelled patriotic sentiment, which welled up again in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Luigi Boccherini出生在1743年的今天，是一名大提琴手和多產的作曲家，有400多件作品：包括4部大提琴協奏曲，90部弦樂四重奏以及125部弦樂5重奏。它的大多數作品為2個小提琴、一個中提琴和兩個大提琴準備，Boccherini最著名的作品是在他的”String Quintet in E, Opus 13″中的小步舞曲。

虽然只是很小一部分，但能不能听出来很熟悉，它出现在许多电影作品中，例如 In Her Shoes, Shanghai Knights, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and The Time of Their Lives。

Luigi Boccherini, born on this date in 1743, was a cellist and the prolific composer of more than 400 works: these included four cello concertos, about 90 string quartets and about 125 string quintets (more string quintets than any other composer). Most of his string quintets were written for two violins, one viola and two cellos. Boccherini's most famous piece is the minuet from his "String Quintet in E, Opus 13." It has been used as background music in dozens of films, including In Her Shoes, Shanghai Knights, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and The Time of Their Lives.
