Boccherini-Night Music of the Streets of Madrid, Opus 30

Night Music of the Streets of Madrid, Opus 30.
As per Wikipedia, it is composed for two violins, a viola, and two cellos, the Night Music of the Streets of Madrid quintet is in the C major key, and is approximately 13 minutes in duration and comprises these movements:
1-Le campane de lAve Maria — The Ave Maria Bell; the main church calls the faithful for the Ave Maria prayers.
2-Il tamburo dei Soldati — The Soldiers drum.
3-Minuetto dei Ciechi — The Minuet of the Blind Beggars; Boccherini directed the cellists to place their instruments upon their knees, and strum them, like guitars.
4-Il Rosario — The Rosary, a slow section not played in strict time.
5-Passa calle — The Passacaglia of the Street Singers, known as Los Manolos, lower-class loudmouths; not a true passacaglia, yet imitates their singing. In Spanish, passacalle denotes pass along the street, singing as one seeks amusement.
6-Il tamburo — The drum.
7-Ritirata — the retreat of the Madrid military night watch; the Watchs patrol, announcing the curfew, and closing the streets for the night.

Thank you for sharing this piece. But, what is the panoramic picture of San Francisco doing in it from 2:06 to 4:15? Not a complaint, merely an inquiry.

Indeed, it seems to be out of place.I was testing a microsoft program, wich you can "navigate" through panoramas big pictures. Nothing special, just curiosity.

I love the setup........from 4:15 to 6:20 is some of the most magical music i've ever heard....it's beautiful.......it makes me rethink everything that's ever mattered to me....i hope it does the same for you.....forget money, power and fame, none of it lasts, just enjoy life and hope we all contribute to a better world. If you do that, we all win.

passacalle takes place at 4:16

Very beautiful music. So familiar as well.... where could I possibly have heard it? If Madrid is like this... bring it on! Sometimes it sounds like a Mozart piece... who's borrowed from who?
