About this item
Heard in the final scenes of “Master and Commander: Far Side of the World,” this masterwork by Boccherini provides a lighthearted musical picture of a typical night in Spain's largest city, including the posting of the night watch, the uncertain steps of the late-night revelers returning home, and the changing of the guard at dawn.

Composer
Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805)
Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini (Lucca, Italy, February 19, 1743 – Madrid, Spain, May 28, 1805) was an Italian classical era composer and cellist whose music retained a courtly and galante style while he matured somewhat apart from the major European musical centers. Boccherini is most widely known for one particular minuet from his String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5 (G 275), and the Cello Concerto in B flat major (G 482). This last work was long known in the heavily altered version by German cellist and prolific arranger Friedrich Grützmacher, but has recently been restored to its original version. Boccherini composed several guitar quintets including the "Fandango" which was influenced by Spanish music.
