Re: Mandolin sheet music in standard notation only: where is it?
Totally agree w Louise on the instrument-agnostic approach of Baroque composition. I've been working on Telemann violin and flute fantasias, as well as the second movement of the Bach Italian Concerto (orig for keyboard, but the melody part in the right hand is completely within mando range).
On the difference between Telemann's violin and flute works: while neither are particularly idiomatic to their respective instrument, I have noticed some subtle differences in compositional styles. Essentially, the flute pieces have some very awkward jumps on mandolin that the violin pieces do not. The violin pieces also have some gorgeous polyphonic writing that will really give your double-stop chops a workout!
Lastly, I want to echo the recommendation for IMSLP. All Baroque works are public domain, so there is no shortage of free sheet music.
