BTW, there is a great "Vienna Blood" PBS series. Three series here seen in America (originally the BBC). It's mostly about a Freudian doctor as I recall. Maybe they named the series after Strauss'...
Just an update as I share this exciting news with the mandolin community. The Mayor of Gallicchio invited me to participate at a special Curti Festival (May 31st through June 3 or so) 2024. They are...
This is great! Carlo Colombo played this as a flashy encore so I'm pretty sure he would have used Bellenghi, the earliest arrangement. I enjoy seeing the other arrangements., too. Thanks everyone!
Has anyone every seen/played Bellenghi's set of variations on the "Carnival of Venice"? Anybody have a copy? If so, could someone tell me if he used his nom de plume "G.B. Pirani"? Thank you for your...
Hey Neil and other curious minds,
glad I was able to help but as you know from having read the Vincent Leon chapter in IMHIA, I left Leon in limbo. Pieces of his puzzle were missing. Well, thanks...
I was just talking with Tony Damiano (Sacramento) this morning. He's got both. I'm going to see about scanning for digital access. stay tuned.
This is our future! investing will mean that the mandolin will always be there! Thank you to all the donors.
Bingo! Gregg, I'm thrilled to know that you learned something new about Curti and found it yet, oh so familiar in terms of what it was like to be human and fall in love. St. Valentine employs a...
Thanks for keeping Curti alive and well. Stay tuned for Part Two!
It certainly crossed my mind as to how much of Munier's "arrangements" follow or at least respect Paganini's score. Hmmmmm. I guess I'll download the original violin score and just use that. And I'm...
The Munier arrangement sounds good...and complete. Thank you!
Jumping in about Paganini. Why do even advanced mandolinists shy away from "Carnival of Venice" variations? It certainly could be a spectacular encore! Does anybody know of a contemporary recording I...
I just had to post the great news! A direct descendant of Carlos Curti contacted me with a handwritten letter and thanked me for writing the book. OMG! not in a million years did I see this coming! I...
What better way to celebrate Curti's life than to play his music! I did not include him in the Index or this forum before because he really didn't bother using the Italian American publishers....
Couldn't go to a more deserving fellow! Congrats!

I'm just posting this link to order the paperback as I heard from one buyer who said they weren't...
WHOA! Now THAT is a flashback! I'd love to hear the preservation tale surrounding its survival fifity years later!
Because Curti introduced the Neapolitan bowlback mandolin to America, I am typing this message to say thank you for everyone at Mandolin Cafe. To those who have played it in the past, who are playing...
Thanks, Joe! another mandolin hero who promises a good show! enjoyed by all. S~
Thank you, Billy! and so have you contributed, on your own, and with Tony Flores!
...and good news! Amazon just notified me that the paperback was just released and is available now! Yeah!!! just search paperback. thx
...
I'm over the moon! thank you, Scott! Carlos Curti would be so thrilled to see this announcement on the eve of the Day of the Dead and especially on the homepage of mandolin cafe. It honors his legacy...
Those of you just reading this thread. Post #408 contains all the viable links to the publishers. Once you've downloaded the most recent Index, you can organize your library by publishers and access...
This waltz is not from an Italian music publisher in America, it was published by
A. Forlivesi, in Florence. It's an example of the hyper-romantic, "treacley" era, 1889. Fellini & Zenuti co-composed...
