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)

USED FOR SINUS ISSUES WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Finally my 3 months of sinus congestion and cough are going away. My ears are also draining slowly too. This + oil pulling is helping with tooth sensitivity. Get this! I have struggled with sinus issues my entire life with brief breaks from problems. I have had easily over 80 antibiotic prescriptions in my life for ear infections, 7 ear surgeries for a non-cancerous tumor, sinus infections, strep, etc. Last year the sinus problems began again and I was becoming dependent on antibiotics (5 infections in 3 months). After researching and concluding the bacterial infections were secondary to a fungal infection, my doctor and I decided to use a Nystatin both orally and powdered form in my netipot, and this cured the problem. However I was misdiagnosed with lyme this summer and was on antibiotics for a month. I also got strep throat, leading to another week of antibiotics. The sinus problems returned. I would have gone back to that doctor for more nystatin, however, I moved so that primary care, who was amazing and listened to me and trusted my science background, was no longer an option for me to visit. So I began researching ways to overcome ENT problems naturally and this probiotic came up as a good choice for sinus and teeth issues (I have also been having severe tooth sensitivity). And I am happy to say it is working. Additionally I have been putting the juice of kimchi up my nostrils and in my ears. The latter resulting in my ears draining onto my pillows for the first few nights. I do not recommend Nystatin or any other fungal killer for that matter. After using Nystatin, I starting developing other problems like random joint and muscle pains, and I believe that is because the fungus was moving out of my intestines into the blood stream to escape the Nystatin (it has low absorption into the blood). I don't even recommend natural fungal killers like oil of oregano, pau d'arcco, neem, etc. I had been using for months and my intestinal candida was not improving. I truly recommend probiotics because biological control is always superior to chemical control. There is less chance for resistance since the organisms evolved together over millenia. Also building up diversity in your microbiome is hugely important. Get a good low-histamine probiotic to help with intestinal candida overgrowth and a good oral probiotic. If you think you have systemic candida, I recommend the book Killing Candida Sweetly. I have found it helpful. I have been attempting to follow the protocols, but even with my moderate adherence, it is working.

This stuff works
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
This stuff works. I'm 51 years old and about 2 years ago I started noticing stains close to the gum line on my otherwise pearly smile and also thicker plaque. I asked the dentist what to do as I'm ridiculous about brushing & flossing already. She said I should think about getting a water flosser so I did and use it 2x a day. I've gone through 3 of them in 2 yrs time as they don't seem to last long. Anyhow at my next check up my dentist commented on how well my teeth were doing and I told her I had taken her advice and water flossing. I mentioned to her that I had read a study that said the amount of plaque in your mouth is directly correlated to the amount of plaque in your heart so I was determined not to have plaque. I got a staph infection in my nose after a cruise and had awful garbage in my nose and running into my throat so I tried this stuff to heal myself. Wouldn't you know the fuzzy sweaters/plaque on my teeth lessened over time using these tablets and I no longer need to use the water flosser. I think I have a chronic Candida problem and have tried everything under the sun to get rid of it and I think this stuff corrects the digestive issues which lead to plaque and sinus problems. I'm about to order my second bottle because my teeth have no stains and actually look better than with the water flosser. Also I can easily pack the tablets for a trip and couldnt do that with the bulky water flosser. As a side note the dark circles and bags are better under my eyes so I think these tablets are healing everything related to the candida, plaque on teeth and sinus pouches. I haven't added any other vitamins or herbs to my daily regimen except these. Would have given 5 stars if a full 2 months supply (60) was in the bottle, I hate when they short you just so you have to reorder early.

Great oral probiotic!
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
Great oral probiotic! Tastes very good and has the right strains for oral health. Brushing, flossing and scraping are all key... and adding in a good oral probiotic is like the icing on the cake. Not too expensive either. If you are looking for a product like this, I can highly recommend NatureWise.

Didn't Hurt, Didn't Help Much Either.
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Recently I was looking for an oral probiotic to help with sinus, gums and tartar for both myself and some pets. As a result, I purchased both this product and Great Oral Health's probiotics. Even though this product did have some positive effect as regards sinus pressure, it took two tables three times a day to work. Also, I noticed that an earthy, clay-like smell to breath in both myself and my pets as a result of using them. It didn't cause any harm, only that it was slightly disconcerting to smell like dirt. The product from Great Oral Health didn't take as long to produce results, and there was a visible reduction in tartar. Also, no odor. All in all, nothing majorly wrong with the product, except that it doesn't have results noticeable enough to warrant buying again.

Same probiotic strains, but a subtle formulation update
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve used NatureWise Oral Health Probiotics (WiseBiotics) for a while and recently noticed a clear difference between the older and newer version — especially in taste and texture. After comparing the labels side-by-side, there has been a formulation change. The probiotic strains are still the same (including BLIS K12 and M18), but the newer version now lists Organic Inulin (90 mg) as an active ingredient instead of just a minor “other ingredient.” This seems to explain the changes I noticed: • The tablets feel more powdery/chalky • The taste is slightly different (a bit less crisp mint, slightly sweeter/fiber-like) • The dissolve/chew experience is not quite the same as before Inulin is a prebiotic fiber, so this change may actually help feed the probiotics — which is a positive. But it definitely changes the user experience. For me, it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable enough that others should be aware, especially if you’re sensitive to texture or ingredients like inulin. Bottom line: Same probiotic strains, but a subtle formulation update that affects taste and texture. Still a good product — just not identical to the previous version. Hope this helps someone else who thought they were imagining things 🙂
