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...

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...
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...
Always my pleasure.
Neil Gladd may be your best bet for a comprehensive list. I can tell you all the tracks on the 2-CD set that was released in Japan some years ago.
The only recording of op.94 I have in my own collection is by Raffaele and Maria Calace themselves. I have the aforementioned recording of op.95 by Cristiano Pistone, Stefano Maciga, Fabrizio...
An example of a piece that Calace set for a few different ensembles but that is almost never performed or recorded (the only commercial recording of which I'm aware was by a quartetto romantico...
I did attend the "cloud" convention. I'm very active in organizations related to my work, and many of them have their conferences in the fall. Last time I attended CMSA in person was Dayton. I...
Many of you are likely familiar because the "owner" was one of the guest artists at this fall's CMSA convention (aside: I'm so looking forward to retirement and more time for personal travel...
It'll be a little while before Bickford or Pettine hit public domain.
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...
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.
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...
I'm a huge fan of Artemandoline's recordings, but note that (1) they weren't the "dicoverers" of the Paris manuscript (I'm not certain that I'm recalling correctly, but I believe that credit belongs...
Those discussions happened during my occasional hiatus . . . es from the Cafe. Too bad. I would have enjoyed the chat there.
Late to this party, but back in 2013, I compiled a reference document on "classical" mandolin for distribution when I occasionally lecture on mandolin for classical guitar programs. I feel obliged...
Keen to hear your interpretation.
Tonight! . . . If you happen to be near central Ohio. I'm among the "friends" in this tremendously diverse chamber-music-with-guitar concert: Karl Wohlwend and Friends. My time on stage will be...
I have fine recordings of many of Calace's liuto cantabile works performed by Calace himself, Giudice, Orlandi, Kisseljow, etc. Still wanted are recordings of Calace's 13° Preludio, op.148 and 3°...
An occasional lament: I have fine recordings of many of Calace's liuto cantabile works performed by Calace himself, Giudice, Orlandi, Kisseljow, etc. Still wanted are recordings of Calace's 13°...
I've never managed to leave.
Feel free to kill the link now if you'd like. It's served more purpose than needed.
I hadn't intended to give that article this much effort, but referencing the article's own bullet points:
1. Four Beethoven works for mandolin and keyboard have survived, but none of the works he...
Kickin' around the dark classical corners of the WWW, I stumbled across this article <link removed, directed to AI authored article with factual errors -- removed at OP's request>. For those...
Well, don't read too much into my description of "naive." The essence of my intent was that they didn't express anything like the technical acumen that his showpiece violin works—or even his...
