Among his contemporaries, his own virtuoso performances on this instrument earned him the nickname Mingain (or Minghino) dal viulunzeel, a dialect form meaning "Dominic of the cello." Domenico Gabrielli never lived to see his 40th birthday, yet he is especially notable as the composer of some of the earliest attested works for solo cello. A selection of them will be presented by Monika Hartmann at the Fortepiano Atelier.
