Re: Southern Italian Mandolin
I've been working my way through these too, slowed down a bit by a need to memorize them, plus a long absence from reading music (never my strong point), but repetition is improving that. Starting with the quadriglie - pretty straightforward and not too daunting - my favorite being the one by Veroni, and then Dour, with its delightful double stops in the second part. I kept making the same mistake, which though it increased the difficulty, oddly made it easier. It seems if I was going to make the same mistake anyway, incorporating it into my arrangement made sense. If I ever feel confident enough, I'll post a version.
