Giovanni Battista Cirri
An Italian composer and cellist whose music was similar to Boccherini's. Cirri's music was controlled through enigmatic harmonies and most of the music he composed as for his instrument. Included in his works were duos, sonatas, concerto and quartets. He played and studied in Bologna and eventually moved to Paris and then London. Cirri participated in the Bach-Abel concerts and often played cello interludes between operas. ~ Keith Johnson, All Music Guide
