The Quintet No.2 in C major starts with a melody that seems about to offer a foretaste of revolutionary fervour to come, before turning into gentler territory, proceeding in a mood that may remind the listener of the contemporary description of Boccherini as 'the wife of Haydn'. Again there is a minuet second movement, marked Amoroso, and here once more there is a show of charm and elegance, in music that makes no heavy demands on an audience, with its contrasting minor key trio section hardly darkening the sky for a second.
