路易吉·魯道夫·博凱裏尼（意大利語：Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini，1743年2月19日－1805年5月28日）是古典主義時期最重要的器樂作曲家之一。他的大量交響曲，弦樂三重奏，四重奏，五重奏等作品音調和諧優雅，旋律優美動聽。雖然在音樂形式上不如同時期的海頓完美，但更為平易近人。作為大提琴演奏家，他的大提琴協奏曲也在音樂史上占有很高的地位。博凱裏尼的作品在長時間被埋沒後，現在已得到廣泛的複興。代表作有20餘部交響曲，十餘部大提琴協奏曲，100多部弦樂五重奏，90餘部弦樂四重奏。 Luigi Boccherini's Cello Concerto No. 9 in B flat Major, G.482 was written in either the late 1760s or early 1770s. Boccherini, a talented cellist, composed twelve concertos for his instrument. German cellist Friedrich Grützmacher chose this concerto to be arranged to fit the style of a Romantic virtuoso concerto, in 1895, and in this form, widely heard, it bears only a tenuous resemblance to the original manuscript. The Boccherini Ninth Cello Concerto has long been an integral part of standard cello instruction, because of creeping use of the full 4+ octave range of the cello, rather than large jumps between different finger positions. Grützmacher merged Boccherini's Ninth Cello Concerto with other Boccherini Cello Concertos. Besides the extensive cuts in the outer movements, Grützmacher decided to rid the Concerto of its original second movement, replacing it with that of the Seventh Cello Concerto (in G Major, G.480). The Fourth Cello Concerto (In C Major, G.477) makes an appearance in bars 40-46 of the first movement, and in bars 85-96 and 151-163 of the Rondo; borrowing from the respective movements. The arpeggios of the Fifth Cello Concerto's (in D Major, G478) first movement are featured in their minor form in bars 47-53 of the first movement. Grützmacher also took the liberty of writing his own cadenzas. Despite all the changes, this Concerto holds up as one of Boccherini's best known works. English cellist Jacqueline du Pré made a recording of this edition of the Concerto. Nevertheless, Boccherini's original work is slowly beginning to resurface. Well-known cellists like Maurice Gendron, Yo-Yo Ma, and Raphael Wallfisch have all made recordings of this long overshadowed work. Nowadays, the two works are distinguished by their origin: Original vs. arr. Grützmacher. -wiki.
