Quartet No. 2 in B-flat major

Date of composition: 1760
Scoring: String orchestra
Duration: 08 minutes
Lombardini Sirmen is one of only very few women who succeeded in building a career as an independent professional musician in the 18th century. Alongside Joseph Haydn and Luigi Boccherini, she was highly influential in providing new and precedent-setting impulses and within the up-and-coming genre “string quartet”.
The structure of Lombardini Sirmen’s quartets, which were published in Paris in 1769, makes them eminently suitable for realisation and performance by a string orchestra.
