CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference Luigi 
Boccherini and the Music of his Time, to be hosted by the Departamento 
Interfacultativo de Música, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid from the 2nd 
to the 4th of November 2011. Proposals are invited for paper 
presentations in the following areas, although proposals outside the 
selected ones will also be considered:

•       Luigi Boccherini and his Social, Cultural and Family Environment
•       Manuscript and Printed Sources
•       Performance Practice in Boccherini’s Music
•       Choreographic and Theatrical Influences in Boccherini’s Music

Abstracts of approximately 300 words should be sent by e-mail to 
(boccherini.conference /at/ uam.es), by 31st July 2011. Applicants to the 
Performance Practice panel, whose presentation will be performed rather 
than read, should also send a short recording (.mp3 format, not more 
than 5 minutes long).

Papers should be 20 min in duration, allowing for a 10 min discussion. 
The languages of the conference will be Spanish, Italian and English. 
Participants with successful proposals will be informed by the 
Conference Scientific Committee by 31st August 2011.

The conference will include a concert with music by Boccherini at the 
Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid, and – for participants 
wishing to remain one extra day – a visit to the Palace of the Infante 
don Luis de Borbón where Boccherini was employed between 1776 and 1785 
in Arenas de San Pedro, on Saturday 5th November 2011.

Further information about the conference will be available from July 
2011 at http://www.luigi-boccherini.org/asociacion_new.php. For any
