## Commentary

Niccolò Jommelli \(1714-1774\) was a celebrated and much travelled composer from Naples. He was active in many Italian cities and went as far as Vienna and later Stuttgart where he was Kapellmeister to Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg \(1728-1793\). In the present portrait he is represented half- length, in a blue coat and satin waistcoat. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 13 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/18\_cent/boccherini\_symphony.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Luigi Boccherini: Symphony in D minor \(The House of the Devil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
