Hi Fellow mudcatters, I'm urgently seeking the existence of a published copy of the Concerto for Two Mandolins (in G) by Vivaldi,the e minor slow movement of which is published for two guitars . However I need the whole thing and for Mandolins. Not much luck with classical publishers so far but knowing how switched on mudcatters are, am trying here. Any info greatly appreciated.

According to this page, it is their number DZ116 and the listing does say for mandos: click here. It seems hopeful because some of their listings for lute and/or mando have "guitar" in parentheses and this one does not.

Good luck!

Somewhere, and I haven't found it yet since I moved to this house 5 years ago, is a much treasured cassette with lots of lovely mandolin music on it. One of my favourite tapes, and it annoys me that I can't find it.

Good luck in your search
Helen

I'm sure that this is the same Concerto that "Eric" (Me, Nigel Chippindale & Colin Thompson) used to play back in the eighties. (Well the First movt, anyway!)
Jolly fine piece, and the first thing I ever played on a Mandolin!!

Regards Ralphie

Nigel Bland Pianos seems to have both the score(£7-30) and parts (£22-20) available.
