HAMBURG, GERMANY — Following his publications A Year with Calace and A Mandocello's Yearbook, Florian Klaus Rumpf has announced the launch of A Year with the Classics for mandolin.
The project presents variations by classical mandolinists Pietro Denis, Gabriele Leone, Giovanni Battista Gervasio and Antonio Riggieri and provides a guide for practicing. Every variation is inspected closely. Historical sources and their transfer to the present day and suggestions for the practice process and ideas for interpretation are all presented.
In order to make the project accessible to the broadest possible audience, each lesson is available in a German and an English version. In addition to the standard notation, tablature is provided.
The individual lessons are now only available for 3€ on the crowd sourcing site Ko-fi. There is only one lesson per month. In order not to miss a lesson, support the author on Ko-fi monthly and you will receive new material to practice every month.
If you miss the start of the project or you are missing a lesson, it can be purchased through the project shop for €4.
When the book is finished, it will be published through the author's publishing company and ordered via his web site. If you collect 8 lessons or more, you will receive the book for free after completion. Lessons bought in the shop count towards the 8 lessons for the full book.
About the Author

of seven. He studied with Professor Caterina Lichtenberg, Valerij Kisseljow, and Silke Lisko at
the Wuppertal campus of the Academy for Music and Dance in Cologne (Hochschule für

through to the octave mandolin and the liuto cantabile. He takes particular care to highlight
the diversity of this family of instruments. Florian Klaus Rumpf works with composers,
composes pieces himself, researches and arranges in order to ensure that the literature for
this array of instruments is constantly expanding. In 2017, he founded his own music publisher
