A 'hidden' instrument in the classical music world, the mandolin's repertoire of original music remains largely unknown. This book examines the lives and works of the mandolin's greatest composers, and taken together with The Early Mandolin provides the first comprehensive survey of the instrument's history. It also examines aspects of technique and looks at present-day orchestras and soloists.
