Title: Gaetano Braga (1829-1907)

Gaetano Braga was both an opera composer and a leading cellist, and he has never been mentioned here.

I find this Bongiovanni CD (https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/7989625--gaetano-braga-chamber-works) with chamber works featuring the cello very attractive.

More about the composer on the schroeder170 project website (https://www.schroeder170.org/post/bel-canto-cellists-in-america-gaetano-braga), dedicated to the life and musical career of Boston Symphony and Kneisel Quartet cellist Alwin Schroeder (1855-1928).
