Notes

"GIAMBATTISTA VALDETTARO"

He began studying the cello in Verona, his hometown, under the guidance of Cesare Bonzanini (one of Camillo Oblach's most illustrious students) and continued with Benedetto Mazzacurati, graduating with top marks and honors from the "San Pietro a Majella" Conservatory in Naples. He subsequently furthered his studies in Naples with Willy La Volpe and in Zurich with Pierre Fournier.
He began his career in 1965 with a tour of the USA and Canada as principal cello with the "San Pietro a Majella" chamber orchestra conducted by Renato Ruotolo, also playing a solo role.
As a soloist and in various chamber ensembles, he has also performed throughout Europe and Italy. As a soloist with orchestras, he has performed with conductors such as Gabriele Gandini, Umberto Cattini, Angelo Campori, Wolfgang Scheidt, and Piero Bellugi.
Since 1971, he has formed a stable duo with pianist Ines Scarlino, with whom he has performed concerts in Italy and abroad. Throughout his chamber music career, he has also had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous important Italian and international partners.
He was principal cello of several important Italian orchestras, including the Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan, the Filarmonia Veneta, and the Orchestra of the Teatro la Fenice in Venice.
In 1987 he published a revision of Bach's suites for solo cello with the Zanibon publishing house (reprinted in 2003 by Armelin) and then performed them in full at the Festivals of Peñíscola (Spain 1991), Engelberg (Switzerland, 1992) and, in Florence (Florence Symphonietta, 1994).
In 1998 his recording of the suites themselves was released, produced by Sicut Sol editrice and distributed by the magazine Fedeltà del Suono, and was welcomed by the most authoritative critics (CD classics, Amadeus).
From 1971 to 2009, he taught cello at the Padua Conservatory. He plays an 18th-century Venetian cello attributed to a maker of the Montagnana school. He used this instrument for this recording, using two bows made by Walter Barbiero.

Zoltàn Kodàly (Kecskemét 1882 - Budapest 1967)
Along with Béla Bartók, he is the greatest Hungarian composer of the first half of the 20th century and, like Bartók, a scholar of Magyar musical folklore. In this work too, the folkloric material is elaborated, across the sonata's three movements, sometimes rhapsodic, sometimes with a more marked rhythmic progression, skillfully exploiting the instrument's virtuosic and timbral potential.

Bernhard Cossmann (Dessau 1822 - Frankfurt am Main 1910)
A German virtuoso, appointed professor at the Moscow Conservatory in 1860, he is considered the founder of the Russian school of cellism. Later, in 1878, he was appointed professor in Frankfurt am Main. He was a friend of the Italian cellist Alfredo Piatti, who dedicated his famous twelve caprices to him.

Luigi Dallapiccola (Pisino, Istria 1904 - Florence 1975)
Initially trained in Central Europe, he moved to Florence in 1922, where he completed his studies with Vito Frazzi and remained for the rest of his life. In the early 1940s, his musical language shifted to twelve-tone music, of which he became one of the leading exponents in Italy.
His friendship with the Spanish cellist Gaspar Cassadò contributed to the creation of two works: Ciaccona, Intermezzo and Adagio, for solo cello (1945) and Dialoghi for cello and Orchestra (1960). The poetic meaning of Ciaccona, Intermezzo and Adagio can be fully understood if we note that, at the end of the last piece, the author writes: September 1945 DEO GRATIAS. In fact, this work almost seems like a summary of the tragedy that has just passed: after the first two movements, characterized by a relentless drama that always returns to impose itself (only occasionally interrupted by more delicate moments), in the Adagio the very slow initial intervals of fifths (pianissimo, without color, as Dallapiccola prescribes) give the sense of an absolute void: the rubble from which, after a while, a breath of hope rises…

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
