violinfiddler Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hello, I just bought myself a mandolin, and I was wondering how much music there is out there for it, other then Vivaldi's concerto? Thanks, Zachary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 There's an aria in Don Giovanni which features it: Deh, vieni alla finestra. I'm also pretty sure some Wagner features mandolin, and some of Mahler's symphonies, if I'm not wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownTraffic Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Excuse my ignorance, but there's actually classical mandolin music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violinfiddler Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 I didn't know that there was any romantic era stuff for it. lol Yes, mid-town, there is some, but I'm not familiar with any besides Vivaldi's concerto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujimufu Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Schoenberg has used the mandolin in his pieces :) You can also check this link for more Mandolin music: Music Listing - without preview images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusdei Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 There is a Hummel concerto for mandolin, which is more or less the same material as the piano concertino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gollum69 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Vivaldi would be the best place...I think he was the only composer to create music for this instrument more than anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If you don't mind the newer stuff, there is a Mandolin Concerto by Avner Dorman. Check out the videos on YouTube: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romanticist Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Mahler used a mandolin in his 8th symphony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QcCowboy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 One of the Roman poems by Respighi uses one, if I recall correctly. I don't have the scores handy, so I can't double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the videos on YouTube: I can't believe what I just heard, I thought mandolins where only relegated to blue grass country, I never thought it would go well with classical music.
