Free mandolin sheet music

[Martin Jonas]

I've just come across the home page of Fabio Machado, who has a nice selection of free PDF sheet music for download, including Beethoven's C major sonatina. Some of these are from the Mutopia web site, but several I don't recognise and the Paganini and the Vivaldi are his own editons, and are presented as beautiful PDFs.

There are also two videos of him with the Madeira Mandolin Orchestra, apparently also available on DVD. These videos are seriously gorgeous professional filming, and some very concentrated kids playing in close-ups, but I haven't yet managed to get the files in their entirety -- the download cuts out after about 10 MB. Enough to get a taste, though.

Yes, indeed...

I've tried to get in touch with Fabio; we crossed paths on the BDZ. So far, no contact established... He's a wonderfully talented young man. I would love to see and hear more of his playing.
