Here is another unreasonable set of Variations on Carnival of Venice by Valentine Abt. The unreasonable part is going back and forth between harmonics and arpeggios!

I didn't own a Lyon and Healy (OK, Washburn), until 2 years after this thread was started, that's why I'm late in replying. There was a time when I used TI strings on all of my mandolins, but no...
I just bought it on iTunes for the bargain price of 6.99. I'll listen tomorrow, but the digital booklet says that he "plays on a mandolin built by Daniele Orlandi, modelled on a 1792 instrument by...
It was on this day in 1877 that Thomas Edison first demonstrated the phonograph, so to celebrate, here I am recording on a cylinder at the Edison Studio in NJ. It's a piece I learned by ear off of a...
I am currently playing this with the National Symphony in Washington, DC, and it got me curious about the history of the piece. I somehow assumed that it was premiered in Italy, but the first...
I don't have the sheet music, but there are several videos on YouTube, so they must have the sheet music. Try sending a message to the performers to ask.
[QUOTE=Jim Imhoff;1912774]Hey Neil, why not play one of those new things at the CMSA open mic?
I currently have 3 completed compositions that haven't been performed yet, and I will be premiering...
I got my room, now I just need to practice and publish some new stuff to sell!
Nicoletta, you should have asked while you were still in the Washington, DC area, because that's where I live! I have played many works by women composers on mandolin, but they are all solo or...
I have always been disappointed that (to the best of my knowledge), Munier never recorded. Mandolin recording in Italy began in 1899 and he lived until 1911, so it certainly would be been possible. I...
My DVDs are from 2002. Although it was originally released as 12 chapters in 1935, in 1940 they were edited together as a single feature film, "Radio Ranch." I first saw that version on PBS many...
For any members in the Washington, DC area, this will be shown at the AFI Silver Theatre Saturday afternoon at 1:00, in a new restoration by the Library of Congress. The Phantom Empire (not to be...
The ultimate library search page is worldcat.org. They still don't have that piece but 73 hits for Pietrapertosa, including his Marche des Fascistes, from 1923. Here's what they do have:

They don't seem to have that one, but the Library of Congress does have some of his works. There are also some arrangements in addition to these pieces

Fletcher recorded 4 tunes on cylinders for Edison Bell in 1903. I don't have any of them and don't know anyone who does, just thought I would mention that they are out there, somewhere. Hopefully,...
That is the same version that I have, and if I ever to decide to publish it, I would note-set a nice clean copy. I also have a recording of Leonardi playing it on a 78, and would add the details of...

Well, there were some recordings of arrangements for mandolin and harp guitar, but I've never seen anything published for mandolin and harp-guitar. It was probably too exotic, even then. This Abt...
I was trying to edit it. The third one is correct.
The name was given as Guido Volpe in the Grammophone Labelography, but Ugo Orlandi had already told me a few months ago that Gennaro was the correct name, and I had corrected it on my website 2...
I assumed the same.
Just reviving this thread for a minute. The cost of almost everything, musical or not, seems to be going up, but I just happened to check on the GEWA cases, yesterday, and the price has gone DOWN!...
This is not available yet, but my CD of Early Italian Mandolin Soloists will be coming out later this year:

Their quartet recorded for Victor as the Athenian Mandolin Quartet, and for Edison as the Alessios - De Filippis Mandolin Quartet. The personnel included Elias Alessios and Carlo De Filippis on...
