BL Highlights valuable mandolin repertoire A 'hidden' instrument in the classical music world, the mandolin's repertoire of original music remains largely unknown. The author examines the lives and works of the mandolin's greatest composers, and taken together with The Early Mandolin (OUP 1989), provides the first comprehensive survey ofthe instrument's history. He also examines aspects of technique and looks at present-day orchestras and soloists.
