• New in Print - J. S. Bach Mandolin Duets

    J. S. Bach Mandolin DuetsFenton, Mo. — Mel Bay Publications has announced the publication of J. S. Bach Mandolin Duets in print and eBook format by John Holenko.

    These mandolin duet arrangements of the music of J. S. Bach are drawn from several sources. Most are arrangements of keyboard pieces from The Anna Magdalena Notebook, English and French Suites, Two-Part Inventions, and some miscellaneous keyboard pieces.

    Some of these are duet arrangements of music originally intended for solo violin or lute. The duets range in difficulty from easy to advanced. While these are arrangements for two mandolins, any two concert pitch instruments can play them.

    The music is presented in standard notation and tablature for both the book and eBook edition.
