Gaspar Cassadó
(Barcelona, 1897-Madrid, 1966) Spanish cellist and composer.Son of the composer Joaquim Cassadó Valls, he was a disciple of Pablo Casals before starting, from 1918, a brilliant career as a cello soloist, during which he sometimes performed alongside figures such as Rubinstein or Menuhin.As a composer, his work was directed, above all, to expanding the repertoire of his musical instrument.In this sense, he is owed a concerto and a sonata for cello, as well as a handful of short virtuosic pieces and arrangements of works by other musicians, including Frescobaldi, Albéniz and Couperin.
