Quartet No. 2 in B-flat major

Date of composition: 1760
Scoring: String orchestra
Duration: 08 minutes
Lombardini Sirmen is one of the few women who managed to build an existence as an independent professional musician in the 18th century. Alongside Joseph Haydn and Luigi Boccherini, she gave the emerging genre of the string quartet new and trend-setting impulses.
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.
