Excellent arrangement. I thought the use of mandola and octave mandola for the keyboard was very effective.

[hayesocaster]

Hey Steve Howe, sound familiar? Clap if you agree...

of course! i cant find in his catalogue any compositions for mandolin , so it is my question...is strange.Mozart wrote only one work for mandolin ,but i think that beethoven wrote no one.thanks!!! i need to investigate.

[sebastianfrego]

what opus is it? is wonderfull.The original version is composed for mandolin? i dont think so.

[Kuss777]

There is no any mark like "opus" in my score. I have just arrangment for mandolin orchestra. I know, that piece is composed by young Beethoven originally for mandolin and harpsichord. There is nothing strange! For example, Vivaldi, Mozart and Mahler composed for mandolin, too.

Bye!

I think WoO (without opus) 44a which is "Sonatina for mandolin and piano in C Major" where I've found it listed . I have found a 43A "Sonatina for mandolin and harpsichord" but that's in C Minor.

[drcajus]

I don't get why everyone here thinks it's a huge mystery that Beethoven wrote music for the mandolin, check his catalogue of compositions under WoO.

WoO 43a: Sonatina for mandolin and harpsichord

WoO 43b: Adagio for mandolin and harpsichord

# WoO 44a: Sonatina for mandolin and piano

WoO 44b: Andante and variations for mandolin and harpsichord

And they have all been recorded too.

[TheFactoryOfLight]

@sebastianfrego It's the WoO 44. :)
