I've been toying with Leopoldo Francia's "Andante & Bolero" for two mandolins as printed in the little D'Alton book (D'Alton, H. 1975. A Variety of Mandolin Music. Clifford Essex Publications, London). In spite of the "Brillante" tempo of the Bolero, it is fairly simple and both parts are rather straightforward. A couple observations:
In the first part, the first note of the 6th measure is a quarter, but appears it should be a half.
The piece's entirety is contained in a very brief page, the Bolero being a single section of 14 measures. It ends on a rather cryptic Fine, which seems redundant given the double bar. I suspect this originally had another page-worth of material, perhaps a B section and/or a trio that would have concluded on D.C. al fine or the like.
Does anybody have a different printing of this to confirm my suspicions?
