Johannes Brahms and the cellists of Sonatas Op. 38 and Op. 99: a photographic retrospective.

Among the complex array of chamber music pieces in Brahms's catalogue, the two Sonatas for piano and cello (a designation that, by the composer's wish, emphasizes the equal nature of the instruments involved) are traditionally considered cornerstones of the repertoire dedicated to this formation. Their notoriety, due to successful reception and continuous performance that we still witness today, should not prevent the listener and interpreter from having an overview of the two Sonatas, which is often neglected in favor of a mere chronological and compositional comparison. Although twenty-four years elapsed between the writing of the first two movements of the Sonata in E minor Op. 38 and the publication of the Sonata in F major Op. 99, the interest in cello writing, fueled by the presence of key figures in the composer's circle, can be considered common to both periods.
In a photograph dated May 7, 1894, we find Brahms, on his sixty-first birthday, surrounded by friends and colleagues at the home of the von Miller zu Aichholz family (Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde archive, Vienna). Among the guests, besides Ignaz Brüll, Anton Door, Julius Epstein, Eusebius Mandyczewski, Gustav Walter, Eduard Hanslick, and Richard Mühlfeld, are the dedicatees of the two Sonatas for piano and cello: Josef Gänsbacher and Robert Hausmann. -

Luca Giovannini, born in Rovigo in 2000, attended the "Francesco Venezze" Conservatory in Rovigo with M° L. Simoncini and graduated at 17 with honors and a special mention. He enriched his studies by attending the "R. Romanini" Academy in Brescia, where he studied with G. Sollima and later with G. Capuçon at the "Classe d'excellence" of the Louis Vuitton Foundation. From a very young age, Luca distinguished himself in numerous competitions, among the most prestigious being the first prize in 2018 at the J. Brahms competition in Pörtschach, Austria, becoming the first Italian to win it, in 2016 the third prize at the "Schönefeld" competition in China, and the National Arts Award 2020.
He has had the opportunity to play for the most illustrious names in the music world, such as G. Kremer, A. Schiff, N. Gutman, E. Dindo, M. Brunello, B. Canino, D. Rossi, and many others, gaining different perspectives and highly stimulating insights.
He has performed in numerous countries and important theaters such as the Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Carnegie Hall in NY, Musikverein in Vienna, the Berliner Philharmoniker, Sale Apollinee della Fenice, and the Sala Maffeiana in Verona. Luca is currently studying with F. Helmerson at the Kronberg Academy, Frankfurt. He plays an Ansaldo Poggi kindly granted by M° M. Brunello.

Leonora Armellini was a very young winner of the “Janina Nawrocka Prize” for “extraordinary musicality and beauty of sound” at the “F. Chopin” International Piano Competition in Warsaw (2010). This success was brilliantly confirmed in the 2021 edition, with a Fifth Prize making her the first Italian woman to reach the top of a competition considered the pinnacle of world pianism. Leonora Armellini (1992), daughter of artists, began studying piano at the age of four with Laura Palmieri and graduated at twelve with full marks, honors, and a special mention. In 2005, she unanimously won the XXII Premio Venezia, reserved for the best graduates of Italian Conservatories, and continued her training with Sergio Perticaroli at the Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome, graduating at seventeen with honors, becoming the youngest graduate of the prestigious institution. She further perfected her skills with Lilya Zilberstein and Marian Mika, and graduated from the “Incontri col Maestro” Piano Academy in Imola with Boris Petrushansky (2018). Among the numerous awards and recognitions for her artistic and human qualities, Leonora received in 2013 from Zubin Mehta the “Galileo 2000 Pentagramma d’oro” award for her “great courage and musical talent.” in May 2013, the National Association of Music Critics decided to award the “XXXII Premio Abbiati,” “Premio Piero Farulli,” to the Trio formed by Leonora, Laura Marzadori, and Ludovico Armellini (Piano, Violin, and Cello). She regularly performs as a soloist and chamber musician for festivals and concert seasons in Italy and abroad (Carnegie Hall in New York, Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Salle Cortot in Paris, Warsaw Philharmonic, Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Martha Argerich Project in Lugano, and throughout Europe, China, South Korea, Japan, …), and has performed with numerous orchestras including the Warsaw Philharmonic, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, I Solisti Veneti, the Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino, the Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice, the Orchestra dell’Arena di Verona, the Ukrainian National Orchestra, the Sinfonia Varsovia, the Symphony Orchestra of the Lodz Philharmonic (Poland)… Leonora is the protagonist of numerous recording projects; her most recent releases include the DVD “Piano Recital” published by ContempoArs containing, among others, Chopin’s Etudes op. 25, and a CD published by Brilliant Classics containing Poulenc’s Concerto for two pianos and orchestra, Britten’s Scottish Ballad, and Debussy’s Première Suite for piano four-hands in the formation of the Duo Pianistico di Padova (with pianist Mattia Ometto), Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, and conductor Luigi Piovano. In the same formation, she also recorded the complete works for two pianos by Brahms for Da Vinci Classics. She has been invited by Italian and foreign radio and television for interviews and concerts, including the “Concerti del Quirinale” and an appearance as a guest at the Sanremo Festival 2013. Alongside Matteo Rampin, she co-wrote and published the popular music book “Mozart era un figo, Bach ancora di più” (Mozart was cool, Bach even cooler), published by SALANI (2014), now in its seventh edition and translated into Spanish. She is currently a Principal Piano teacher at the “A. Buzzolla” Conservatory in Adria (RO)

Eh...
Size: 5 in
I had high hopes for these cause we have other spot brand toys that have last a long time. Unfortunately these just don't hold up to the test! My dogs had them broken in about 5 - 10 mins. They did smell good tho and my dogs went crazy over them before I ever got them out of the bag. Lol.

Smells too strong
Size: 5 in
My dog hates the way this thing smells. She tries to play with it, but the scent is too strong for her nose. I know it's the scent because she usually sniffs it two or three times in between trying to grab it with her mouth. She treats it like an explosive in her mouth and quickly moves away after spitting it out. She used to have a bone that looked similar to this (same material) that was unscented and she gnawed the hell out of it. My sister's pitbull spent the night and chewed that toy into bits, leaving my Yorkie mourning the loss of her once treasured bone. Please make an UNSCENTED version of this toy!!!!

If you were looking for a sign to buy this, here it is
Color: A) Small 2.5" Ball
If you are looking for a ball that can stand up next to a heavy, aggressive chewer.. this is a good choice. Our Pitbull literally destroyed any and every toy that she gets with the exception of one kind of kong ball. She tore through the kong Frisbees, any kind of squeaker toy, and the wobble wag giggle ball (she usually always ends up destroying these but it takes a few weeks. Today she beat her record and had her brand new ball destroyed within the first 30 minutes of us taking it out of the box). But, this ball she has not been able to destroy. I'd like to believe that the Kong ball she has and this ball are made of the same material. Because they are the only balls she can't ruin. And it's not because of a lack of trying. We have watched her sit there and chew with a side of her mouth for an hour or more, trying to make some kind of indention or tear in it and it just never happened. She loves to chew this thing, chase this thing, sleep with this thing. I most certainly recommend this ball. If it is I'ah proof then it is most certainly, 100% a durable ball and worth every penny

Chew King Supreme Chew Toy
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far, freaking amazing. This ball is awesome. I have a 90 lb American Bulldog. Like other reviews. Lot of " indestructible balls" lasted minimum time. Not this one. She even took it to bed with her I bought the 3 inch ball, not the 4 inch ball. The 3 inch ball works amazingly for a large Dog. Yes the 4 inch would be better. So in my opinion, either ball would be fine. As others also said. This ball keeps a active Dog busy for hours. Love to play catch. Love frozen peanut butter in it. One last thing. The price is amazing. I don't see needing to buy another, unless it is lost, because this is made to last. We couldn't be happier.

Malinois proof
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far this has held up great. My Malinois who has destroyed nearly every ball I’ve gotten her, this one has lasted over 3 weeks without a dent, compared to some that don’t even last a day lol. Although the medium size is a little too big for her liking she still plays with it. It’s very durable and I like the middle part for engagement as well. I would recommend if you have a dog who destroys every ball possible.
