5-GALUPPI'S 240TH: GALUPPI ONE OF FIRST MODERN ORCHESTRA CONDUCTORS
#Galuppi was excellent #concertmaster & #conductor in a modern sense! #Galuppi usually avoided the keyboard use with orchestra to cover errors & obliged musicians to performance perfection with their instruments!

At least 3 points in common: beginning with laments on "serfdom" (see #Leporello), central cry for "freedom" (see #VivaLaLibertà), major action is led by women!
