Giovanni Battista Pergolesi achieved only modest success during his short lifetime, but the twenty years following his death(at the age of 26) in 1736,saw an extraordinary change, turning him into one of the most-published composers of the 18th century. An Eighteenth Century French writer described the 'Stabat Mater', completed ...
