Adapting violin music for mandolin
First time posting! I just picked up Bärenreiter's urtext edition of Telemann's fantasias for unaccompanied violin. There's a lot of really great material in here, and I'm sure it'll keep me busy for a long time.
I'm relatively new to the headier violin repertoire, having mostly played Irish folk, ragtime/old-time, and a few classical pieces here and there. (I'm really enjoying John Goodin's arrangements of Oswald's divertimenti.)
Does anyone have any recommendations/general rules of thumb/etc for adapting violin music for mandolin, specifically right-hand technique? I'm thinking of the way in which violinists interpret articulation marks in the score as specific bowing techniques, many of which are less applicable to mandolin. Are there ways of simulating some of those techniques on the mandolin?
