Misc. Notes My arrangement of the minuet from op. 11 no. 5, this most famous of pieces by Boccherini, makes a brilliant demonstration piece. Boccherini’s irresistible melody is presented in three double-bass registers, mid-, high-, and ultra-high, where it is laid out in natural harmonics. Two piano scores accommodate a double bass with either orchestral or solo tuning.
