from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emanuel Siprutini (* around 1730 in the Netherlands , † around 1790 in London ) was a cellist and classical composer .

According to Carl Ferdinand Pohl (1819–1887), Emanuel Siprutini was the son of Jewish parents. After traveling through Italy and Spain, he settled in London, where he first appeared on February 27, 1756. According to Otto Jahn , who incorrectly gave the name Sipruntini, Leopold Mozart is said to have tried hard to convert Siprutini to Catholicism during his stay in London in 1764. Several of his appearances are documented in the 1770s. John Crosdill (1751-1825) was one of his students .
