    Re: Ranieri - Art of the Mandolin

    Yeah. Part 2 (3,4) have been on there a while. It’s tougher to find part 1 (1,2). Hopefully we can get it added to IMSLP.

    Ranieri - Art of the Mandolin

    Good news for those of us in the US. The Art of the Mandolin has officially entered into the public domain. It’s a great book so I’m hoping to see some copies legally spread around now.

    Re: Tchaikovsky on mandolin

    I’d love to hear this piece done with the horn as a solo mandola and then the mandocello play the trombone part and a bass playing the tuba part, but it is a very nice arrangement of the pieces.
