Luigi Boccherini (19 February 1743 – 28 May 1805) was an Italian cellist and extremely prolific composer, mostly for his instrument.
Speculation
He wrote a large amount of chamber music, including over one hundred string quintets, a dozen guitar quintets, nearly a hundred string quartets, and a number of string trios, and at least nineteen cello sonatas). His orchestral music includes around thirty symphonies and twelve cello concertos. – adapted from Wikipedia
Did an elf or a genie
Assist Boccherini
To write all those pieces
That filled his valises
When he went to convince
Some noble or prince
To hire this fellow
So skilled on the cello?

Observation
An audience was known to beef
That György Kurtág's pieces are so brief.
