Wonder if anyone can answer this question for me.
I've got a music collection by "Pietro Fouchetti"...i think its a Hofmeister edition...6 serenades and sontatas.
Im at the beach this week and i've been reading paul sparks / james tyler book "The Early Mandolin" # There are several references to Giovanni Fouchetti ... in the book it talks about the mandolin method he wrote in the 18th century. #While he favored the mandolino, he wrote 6 serenades and sonatas for the mandoline as part of that method.
No where can i find refrences to "Pietro Fouchetti" on the net...lots for Giovanni
Oddly, according #to the book, #there is a parisan named "Pietro Denis" who wrote mandoline music and published methods about the same time.
So i am wondering if Pietro Fouchetti is some product of Giovanni Fouchetti and Pietro Denis or there really was a pietro fouchetti?
any mandolin historians out there who can help?
thanks, Ira
