The music of Carlo Munier is, above all, demonstrative. All the technical aspects of this "new" way of playing the mandolin are present: chords, accompanied tremolo, arpeggios across multiple strings… Romantic and lively, his music places significant emphasis on melody, likely influenced by Neapolitan song. His works, always perfectly suited to the instrument, can stylistically be compared to those of guitarist-composers of the same period, such as Tárrega, Llobet, or Mozzani.
A prolific composer, his most notable pieces include the Capriccio Spagnolo, the trio for mandolin, cello, and piano, as well as his quartets for two mandolins, mandola, and mandoloncello, particularly the one in C major. This prelude in A major, far removed from grand works of high virtuosity, presents a simple theme that Munier develops in a polyphonic style reminiscent of a string quartet.
La musique de Carlo Munier est avant tout démonstrative. Tous les aspects techniques de cette « nouvelle » façon de jouer de la mandoline sont présents : accords, tremolo accompagné, arpèges sur plusieurs cordes… Romantique et vivante, sa musique laisse une large place à la mélodie, certainement influencé par la chanson napolitaine. Ses œuvres, toujours parfaitement adaptées à l’instrument, peuvent être apparentées, stylistiquement parlant, à celles des guitaristes-compositeurs de cette même période tels que Tarrega, Llobet, ou Mozzani.
Compositeur prolifique, ses pièces les plus réussies demeurent le Capriccio Spagnolo, le trio pour mandoline, violoncelle et piano ainsi que ses quatuors pour 2 mandolines-mandole-mandoloncelle et plus particulièrement celui en Do. Ce prélude en la majeur, loin des grandes oeuvres de haute virtuosité, présente un thème simple que Munier va développer dans une écriture polyphonique proche du quatuor à cordes.
