(Sorry, it's actually called Moto Perpetuo, but I can't edit the Subject line here)
How about this piece for familiarising myself (as a fiddler) with the mandolin keyboard and picking? It's maybe 200 bars, including repeat, of relentless semiquavers, starting with 1st position C scale, then introducing more accidentals and string crossings and later getting into higher positions. It mostly stays below 15th fret until 4th last bar, which eventually runs up to fret 20 to shake some dust off
Can you suggest anything more effective for mandolin? I'm looking for a piece I can quickly learn by ear then play to death till picking feels second nature.
