Cello Concerto no. 9 in B-flat major, G. 482
Luigi Boccherini's Cello Concerto No. 9 in B♭ Major, G. 482, was written in either the late 1760s or early 1770s. Boccherini, a talented cellist, composed 12 cello concertos. In 1895, German cellist Friedrich Grützmacher chose this concerto to be arranged to fit the style of a Romantic virtuoso concerto, and in this form, widely heard, it bears only a tenuous resemblance to the original manuscript.
