  1. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    This was a standard type (mandolino genovese: e, a, d', g', b', e'') of which there are several extant instruments, the luthier Cristiano Nonnemacher often associated with the type. This was the...
  2. Re: Vivaldi's (and other's) mandolin works on "original" instrume

    Of course. Typographic error, now corrected. Thank you.




    I tend to agree, as alluded, but the fact remains that some well-known scholars think otherwise and have provided some justification....
  3. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    General consensus, but not settled by any means, as I've elaborated elsewhere.
  4. Re: Vivaldi's (and other's) mandolin works on "original" instrume

    That their works were for 4-course/4-string, fifth-tuned mandolin is the general consensus for Beethoven and Mozart. That's why commercial recordings on 6-course mandolins don't exist. However,...
  5. Vivaldi's (and other's) mandolin works on "original" instruments

    Elsewhere, mandopops lamented:

  6. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    Lots of recordings of the Vivaldi works on a 6-course instrument. Some of my favorites are by Il Giardino Armonico, L'Arte dell'Arco, and Europa Galante. Parley of Instruments is pretty good for...
  7. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    I feel compelled to comment a bit on the content of this url. It states that "the [six-course mandolino] was no longer used after around 1740. Only recently has the Mandolino been revived."

    This...
  8. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    Here's my anon. French mandolin, likely from the first half of the 19th c. It's only a little anachronistic, and I still apply the historic stringing from the 18th-c. method books to it. Not easy...
  9. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    Neil notes that "Among the composers [Gualdo] played was Emanuele Barbella." Barbella often designated his works for "violino o mandolino," and his music was written for and certainly fits the...

    Re: New recording of Hoffmann's quartets

    Copy now in hand, and I'm enjoying.

    For what it's worth, I also picked up Maddaluno's earlier recording on modern mandolin, Costantino Bertucci: Il Ragazzino di Borgo, way back when it was...

    I don't know that Pettine's instructional material will get you more than those other two resources combined, but it will certainly get you a different perspective. It might be a perspective that...

    Re: Pettine and Odell Mandolin Method

    Not for sale, but I donated a complete Pettine set to Ohio State University's music library decades ago. If you have access to an interlibrary loan system, you should be able to check them out.

    New recording of Hoffmann's quartets

    I'm a fan of the early-Classical mandolin music of Giovanni Hoffmann (active ca. 1800), especially the concerto and the D minor sonata. A cursory look at his scores makes it evident that his...
