    Re: Carnivale Of Venice

    This is great! Carlo Colombo played this as a flashy encore so I'm pretty sure he would have used Bellenghi, the earliest arrangement. I enjoy seeing the other arrangements., too. Thanks everyone!

    Re: Paganini for Mandolin

    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...

    Re: Paganini for Mandolin

    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...

    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...
