Notes

This publication completes the entire oeuvre of cello sonatas composed and published in London by Emanuel Siprutini between 1756 and 1774 as Op. I, III, V, VI, and VII. Born in Holland or Portugal to the Jewish family of Shiprut, he came to England following the Jewish naturalization act enacted in 1753 by King George II of England, settling in London as a wine merchant, concert pianist, and cello teacher. Among the scant information about him are those reported in the letters of Leopold Mozart, who met him in London in 1764 during his stay with his prodigious son, still a child; among his students was John Crosdill, the most celebrated English cellist of the eighteenth century.

This publication completes the entire oeuvre of cello sonatas composed and published in London by Emanuel Siprutini between 1756 and 1774 as Op. I, III, V, VI and VII. Born in Holland or Portugal into the Jewish family of Shiprut, he came to England following the “Jewish naturalization act” established in 1753 by King George II of England, settling in London as a wine merchant, virtuoso cellist and cello teacher. Little information about him comes from the letters of Leopold Mozart, who met him in London in 1764 during his stay in England with his prodigious son, still a child. John Crosdill, the most famous English cellist of the eighteenth century, was Siprutini's student until his debut as a concert performer.
