About the Stabat Mater
Date 1781 and 1800 (revision: opus 61)
Performers Soprano, strings (1781), Soprano, Alto, Tenor, strings (1800)
Length 38.59 minutes (1781) and 49.23 minutes (1800)
Particulars The first piece is divided into 11 parts, varying from 1 to 3 stanzas, with an opera-like sound. The "arias" contain a lot of coloratura. The cello player Boccherini clearly could not refrain from using a solo cello as accompaniment to some of the stanzas.

The division in parts is less clear here (Boccherini gives 14 tempo indications), so in my graphic representation I use the division in tracks of the CD. The second Stabat has been given a 4 minute musical introduction, for which Boccherini used the Allegro of his second symphony.
Textual variations The text according to the "Analecta" is used, with the exception of line 2 of stanza 16: not "Passionis eius sortem" but "Passionis fac consorte
