Sonatina in C major is the first song I heard that I associated with mandolin. This was on the first Beethoven's Wig CD, and was a Father's Day gift in 2007. A couple years later a family member gave me a mandolin that had sat in his attic untouched for some unknown period of time. That turned into mandolin as a hobby. The old mandolin got upgraded to a Fylde Single Malt after I visited Roger Bucknall's workshop one Christmas break when our family lived in the UK. Sonatina has been an "I really need to finish learning" item through that whole journey. This past summer I finally put the time into learning the last half. Here is a mandolin / mandola duet recording of the Ken Yearick version posted in the TablEdit library. Fylde Single Malt mandolin and Eastman MD315 mandola.
