Concert for flute and small string orchestra (Op 27) in D Major
L. Boccherini concerto for flute and orchestra (Op 27) in D Major was published in 1780 in Paris as a Boccherini composition and has been popular ever since. Even though musicologists later discovered that the work had been composed by Bohemian court musician Franz Xavier Pokorny, the reprint also had the initial name of Boccherini to avoid confusion.
This theory is based on stylistic analysis and historical research, which indicate that the musical characteristics of the concerto align more closely with Pokorny's style than Boccherini's.
Pokorny was a contemporary of many prominent Classical composers. He served as a court musician for the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, where he composed a variety of works, including symphonies, concertos, and chamber music.

Boccherini Luigi
Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805) was a prolific Italian composer who has written approximately 500 works, mostly chamber music, symphonies, concertos, as well as sacred music. Boccherini is known for development of string quartet as we know today as well as piano quintet, producing over 100 string quartets, 100 quintets, 50 trios and other 50 chamber music compositions for various instruments.
Luigi was born in Lucca (Tuscany) in artistic family: his father was a double-bass player, and his brother was a notable poet, writing librettos for works of Joseph Haydn and Antonio Salieri. Young Luigi went to Rome to study cello and was influenced by music of Palestrina and Corelli. Upon returning to Lucca, Boccherini took leadership of local church and theatre orchestras as well as composed various instrumental music, developing the style of string quartet as we know today. In 1766 Boccherini left for Paris where many of his earliest compositions were published. In 1769 he was persuaded to join the court of King of Spain, Charles III and moved to Madrid where he spent the rest of his life.
