It is so nice to hear and see Alex playing. Mostly he promotes the talented folks in his orchestra and conducts same. How about a few more videos of similar playing, Alex?

I am glad I dupled the post here where it also belongs. I must have missed that posting in the pluses and minuses of copying various historic instruments.

Hello Jim and Victor,
Thanks for your nice words on my Mandolino playing of the 'Alemanda' by Ceccherini.
As you say Victor, it is indeed a "tiny, charming instrument". I am particulary happy with the fact that you mention that the instrument has a 'wonderful sonority', because that is, I think, in essence what Fouchetti in the 2nd half of the 18 Century also meant on page 5, chapter III of his 1771 tutor "MÉTHODE / Pour Apprendre facilement / á jouer de la Mandoline / á 4 et á 6 Cordes", where he wrote (after he had already written that: "although it's open string tuning is more complicated than that of the [Neapolitan] mandolin") he went on at the bottom paragraph of the same page, with: "Mais cet Instrument n'est pas si difficile à jouer que la Mandoline à quatre cordes, parce qu'il ne faut pas dèmancher si souvent. Aussi on le / préfére aujourd'hui à láutre [the Neapolitan mandolin] , et on le trouve plus harmonieux; mais cela dépend du goût".
(free translation: 'But this instrument is not so difficult to play as the mandolin with four [double] strings, because it does not necessary demand [to much of the performer] so often. Although today it [the Neapolitan mandolin] is prefered above the other, it is seen as more harmonious; but that depends on the taste".
This sentence above has likely also been thé line for James Tyler in his part of the 'EARLY MANDOLIN', the book he and Paul Sparks wrote in 1989, to point out that Fouchetti must have prefered the gut-strung Mandolino above the metal strung Neapolitan mandolin (see page 38).
Well, that being the case, and indeed how much I do love the tiny Mandolino, I must say I like all Mandolin types! What a fascinating instrument is it - and what a fantasdtic history it has - that we have in our hands!
And Jim, if I have some spare time this week (or the next one) I will record the 'Fuga' by Ceccherini that goes together with this 'Alemanda'. I'll keep you informed.
Cheers to you all,
Alex #
Added a new file to YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-idCrfuEaE
It's an excerpt from Concerto in E minor Op.64 I - Allegro molto appassionato , F. Mendelssohn
I apologize beforehand for being audio only, and the sound quality isn't that great (I'm still trying to get the video from it).

Here is another addition to the classical mandolin/guitar youtube videos. I stink at links so you will have to cut and paste.

No, thats the only video, as far as I know. I happened upon that one by accident. The arrangement is by Marga Wilden-Husgen. Quite nice and fun to play.
Here's my attempt at Evan Marshall's arrangement of the 1812 fantasy

Superb performance! I liked the chromatic run.

I just stumbled across this one, by a well-known cafe regular.
Thanks Neil for the link and greetings to Eugene and his guitarist Karl Wohlwend. Well done!
Best,

VERY Nice, Bill. #tempus est iocundum - was my favorite though I enjoyed petite rien as well.
Could you enlighten me as to the extended plectrum you use on Petite Rien ? I recall you had at one time been experimenting with different plectrum materials (credit cards come to mind...). To my untrained eye, it appears to be a nail file or emory board - but that is appearance only.
Again, very nice.

Three videos with Sonia Maurer and the ensemble Europa Galante, Vivaldi concerto in C major played on a mandolino have been added by

I don't know if this has been posted yet but check out this mandolin quartet playing a couple of pieces called Aqua Rythym #1 and #2 by Hiro Fujikake.
There are three kinds of people: those of us that are good at math and those that are not.
Not an actual YouTube video, but my recent performance of Elliot Carter's Luimen with the Tanglewood fellows is now available on TanglewoodTV -- watch through the end for Mr Carter's appearance, and marvel that the man turns 100 in December and yet he still looks like he's going to challenge some whippersnapper to an Indian wrestle at any moment. Go here, click the "Launch WebTV" button, then select Luimen from the menu. The ensemble includes Oren Fader on guitar, Megan Levin on harp, Patrick Pfister on trombone, Chris Coletti on trumpet, Steven Merrill on vibes, and Christoph Alstaedt conducting. A recent review of the performance can be found here.
