I wanted to post this yesterday, but I was out of home and could not manage it.
Let’s celebrate Carlo Alfredo Piatti’s birthday with a dedicated post.
The most influential Italian cellist of the XIX century by far, he is mostly remembered for his Twelve Caprices for Solo Cello, Op. 25, dedicated to Bernhard Cossmann. Despite the fame and glory he achieved in his life, he never forgot his humble beginnings, and kept a low profile to his last days.
Piatti was a very prolific composer besides being a most-accomplished performer, with over one hundred independent works. The Piatti Opera Omnia project started to unearth these long- and unfairly-forgotten gems back in 2022.
Let’s celebrate his birthday with a massive sale on all our Piatti’s publications. Given the importance of the author, the sale will exceptionally last all week (8-14 January), instead of the usual two days.
