I wouldn't like to provoke, or offend anybody, because I realize that you are all nice people.
I'm a fan of Mozart, of course, but interested by many issues.
I've noticed that Luchesi's works have never been discussed about, yet, on this forum (I mean works officially attributed to Luchesi)
He composed, indeed, many works:
* L'isola della fortuna, opera buffa with libretto by Giovanni Bertati, performed at the Hoftheater, Vienna, in 1765; also in Venice (1765) and at the Royal Theater in Lisbon (1767).
* Ademira, opera seria, for the Ascension Day in Venice (1784), to honour the visit of king Gustavus III of Sweden
* Other operas: Il marito geloso (1766), Le donne sempre donne (1767), Il giocatore amoroso (1769), Il matrimonio per astuzia (1771), Il Natal di Giove, L'inganno scoperto ovvero il conte Caramella (1773, with libretto from Carlo Goldoni), L'amore e la misericordia guadagnano il gioco (1794).
* Oratorio Sacer trialogus (1768)
* Stabat Mater (about 1770)
* Requiem (1771) in F, for the state funeral of the duke of Montealegre in San Geremia's.
* Various masses and sacred works, including: Mass for San Lorenzo in Venice, Mass for the "Festa della concezione di Maria" in Verona, Te Deum for the Incurabili conservatory in Venice
* Passione di N.S. Gesù Cristo (1776), on a text from Metastasio (recorded cd by Tactus)
* Many organ works, including:
o 12 sonatas known as Donelli Collection (completed by 1764), now at the Naples Conservatory
o 6 sonatine and 8 divertimenti, now at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
o 2 sonates pour l'orgue in the 'Menus plaisirs du Roi', Paris
* Celebration music for the feast of San Rocco in Venice (1769)
* Serenata for the duke of Brunswick (1764)
* Cantata for the duke of Wurttemberg (1767)
* 2 Symphonies (by 1768)
* 6 Sonatas 'per il cembalo con l'accompagnamento di un violino' Op.1 (Bonn, 1772)
* Sonata in fa 'per il cimbalo' (1771-73?), now at the University of Münster
* 3 Symphonies op. 2 (Bonn,1773) - lost
* Concerto for harpsichord (Bonn,1773) - four more concertos/trios are lost
* Cantata for the election to Bishop of Archiduke Max Franz (1785 - attributed to Luchesi in the Bonn Stadtarchiv)
* Sonate facile for cembalo and violin (Leipzig, 1796)
BTW, many of those works are available on Amazon:

I wonder if anybody has already listened to some of them.
