Domenico Gabrielli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Domenico Gabrielli , also Gabrieli (born April 15, 1651 in Bologna , † July 10, 1690 ibid), was an Italian cellist and composer of the Baroque .

Life

Domenico Gabrielli received his training in Venice from Giovanni Lenzei and the cello from Petronio Franceschini . Domenico Gabrielli worked as a cellist in the capella musicale di San Petronio from 1680 until his death in his hometown , only briefly interrupted by a period of service at the court of Modena (1687 to 1688). For several years he was the "Principe" of the prestigious Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna. Because of his excellent cello playing he was called "Minghino dal Violoncello" (Minghino is the belittling of Domenico in the Bolognese dialect).

Gabrielli composed about ten operas and four oratorios, as well as various other works. He was the first to write compositions for cello solo ( Ricercari per violoncello) and also composed sonatas for cello and basso continuo , which are among the first of their genre, as well as works for violin and cello.
