Description:
This lively Rondeau from Bologne's Six String Quartets, Op. 1 is a classic seven-part rondo in G Major, D Major, and G minor. As was typical of the Classical style, the melody is heard mainly in first violin, while other sections provide supporting harmonic and rhythmic roles. The essence of the string quartet scoring is retained by having the bass double the cello part, resulting in a charming and accessible concert selection.
