Minuet - Luigi Boccherini - String Quintet in E Major, Op.11 No.5

Heard this piece Saturday on the Music Choice (MC) Light Classical Channel.
This Youtube presentation is both musically and visually pleasing to me.

It is indeed a lovely piece well in keeping with the bucolic personality of a wonderfully creative composer. Boccherini hails from a rural area of Italy that produced a more famous and beloved composer, Puccini, and also where Napoleon was raised. Lucca, a lovely walled town.
