Book Synopsis The Classical Mandolin by : Paul Sparks
Book excerpt: A "hidden" instrument in the classical music world, the mandolin's repertoire of original music remains largely unknown. This book examines the lives and works of the mandolin's great composers and, together with Sparks's earlier The Early Mandolin (Oxford 1989), provides the firstcomprehensive survey of the instrument's history. The book also explores aspects of technique and looks at present-day orchestras and soloists.
