Rondo by Bochsa

[Elizabeth Volpé Bligh]

There is a Rondo (in F major) by Bochsa on the Grade 8 RCM syllabus repertoire list. Does anyone know if this is part of a larger piece, and if this is an adaptation of an original piece specifically for pedal harp or piano? This one is for lever harp, from the collection Pièces Classiques pour la harp celtique published by Billaudot. There is a curious voicing in bar 66 in the left hand which would sound so much better as G’s. Is that a deviation from the original?

Dear Elizabeth, nobody has answered you yet. Perhaps you don’t need help just now. If not, I hope this link could be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4yB47qUQRE Harpist Natalie Hoffmann plays this pieces there and her contact appears there.

Thank you. I guess this is a stand-alone piece, written for harp. I can’t find any information on it.

The other pieces on the list may provide a clue. If they are mostly easy, it might be the one in Medieval to Modern, or it might be Le Garcon Volage, which he published in two different versions. Not having a complete title or information is a clue to the quality of the list, in my thinking. Especially when Bochsa wrote hundreds of rondos.
