BOCCHERINI: Cello Sonatas

Boccherini’s style is completely characteristic of the period in which he lived, the period, that is, of Haydn, rather than that of Mozart or Beethoven. 34 of his sonatas for cello and basso continuo survive today, spectacular showcases for the technical resources of the cello.
