Biography
Giuseppe Magrini (1857–1926) was an Italian cellist, composer and teacher from Milan. A pupil of Isidoro Truffi and Guglielmo Quarenghi, he also studied in Naples.
He taught for many years at the Milan Conservatory and served as principal cellist at La Scala. His students included Enrico Mainardi. His compositions, mainly for cello, combine concert and salon idioms, while his editions of studies by earlier cellists contributed to the instrument’s teaching repertoire.
