Domenico Gabrielli (15 April 1651 or 19 October 1659 [sic] – 10 July 1690) was an Italian composer and one of the earliest known virtuoso cello players. He is no relation of the more famous Gabrieli family of musicians and spelled his named differently.

You can think about this fellow,
As you open up your cello case, with gratitude.
