Description
This book examines the possibility of there having been two main types of early mandolin, the gut-stringed "mandolino", played with the fingers and the later Neopolitan "mandoline" with metal strings, played with a plectrum. The authors look at their physical characteristics, tunings, playing techniques and musical histories to about 1800. They present the full extent of their repertories, which include works by Handel, Vivaldi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Hummel, Beethoven, and Sammartini, whose recently discovered sonata for mandolin is published here for the first time. The study is aimed at players and teachers of the mandolin, musicologists, organologists as well as students of early music.
