Daniel Vernhettes published "Visiting Mexican Bands" and spent quite a bit of time in New Orleans discussing how the Mexican bands did return (without Curti) and made a huge impact on subsequent...

BTW, there is a great "Vienna Blood" PBS series. Three series here seen in America (originally the BBC). It's mostly about a Freudian doctor as I recall. Maybe they named the series after Strauss'...

Just an update as I share this exciting news with the mandolin community. The Mayor of Gallicchio invited me to participate at a special Curti Festival (May 31st through June 3 or so) 2024. They are...

Hey Neil and other curious minds,
glad I was able to help but as you know from having read the Vincent Leon chapter in IMHIA, I left Leon in limbo. Pieces of his puzzle were missing. Well, thanks...

I was just talking with Tony Damiano (Sacramento) this morning. He's got both. I'm going to see about scanning for digital access. stay tuned.

Bingo! Gregg, I'm thrilled to know that you learned something new about Curti and found it yet, oh so familiar in terms of what it was like to be human and fall in love. St. Valentine employs a...

It certainly crossed my mind as to how much of Munier's "arrangements" follow or at least respect Paganini's score. Hmmmmm. I guess I'll download the original violin score and just use that. And I'm...

The Munier arrangement sounds good...and complete. Thank you!

Jumping in about Paganini. Why do even advanced mandolinists shy away from "Carnival of Venice" variations? It certainly could be a spectacular encore! Does anybody know of a contemporary recording I...

I just had to post the great news! A direct descendant of Carlos Curti contacted me with a handwritten letter and thanked me for writing the book. OMG! not in a million years did I see this coming! I...

What better way to celebrate Curti's life than to play his music! I did not include him in the Index or this forum before because he really didn't bother using the Italian American publishers....

I'm just posting this link to order the paperback as I heard from one buyer who said they weren't...

Because Curti introduced the Neapolitan bowlback mandolin to America, I am typing this message to say thank you for everyone at Mandolin Cafe. To those who have played it in the past, who are playing...

Thanks, Joe! another mandolin hero who promises a good show! enjoyed by all. S~

...and good news! Amazon just notified me that the paperback was just released and is available now! Yeah!!! just search paperback. thx

I'm over the moon! thank you, Scott! Carlos Curti would be so thrilled to see this announcement on the eve of the Day of the Dead and especially on the homepage of mandolin cafe. It honors his legacy...

Those of you just reading this thread. Post #408 contains all the viable links to the publishers. Once you've downloaded the most recent Index, you can organize your library by publishers and access...

This waltz is not from an Italian music publisher in America, it was published by
A. Forlivesi, in Florence. It's an example of the hyper-romantic, "treacley" era, 1889. Fellini & Zenuti co-composed...

Publishers Index 5.23.2023. Here it is

Good News! I've found another "Norma". The Dropbox now has 4 different editions of the arias from Bellini's opera "Norma." Tesio's brilliant arranger Domenico Baravalle. Bellini died just before his...

Pignoloni's is the best I've encountered. I believe when Pietro Deiro produced his version in 1920, he showed Pignoloni's strong influence. They were both in Pagani's stable of composers/arrangers so...

Rosas' waltz had dozens of publications--everyone eager to have his melody--due to his untimely death.
American publishers: 1909, Feist, 1910, Witmark and Ditson; 1911, Carl Fischer and Pagani...

I'm pleased to introduce two new titles to the ballo liscio archive. Both titles are arranged by Maestro Pignoloni for the Pagani catalog. Juventino Rosas died way too young but he composed the most...

BYO is 12N. charts etc. Aurora Mandolin Orchestra launches it first, usually @ 1:00P, the Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble will be on the docket, too. There are side rooms where one can meet/chat and...

It is with a sad heart that I announce that Elizabeth Lamson has passed away. Her guiding efforts as a mandola player & leader of the Berkeley Mandolin Ensemble brought Rudy Cipolla's music to light....
