Concerto in C Major for Mandolin Strings and Basso Continuo RV425

This is a great piece for small students ensemble as well.

although it is all in Italian the score is flawless. Not much for performance notes but I just wanted the music anyway.Great to play along with the recordings.Excellent overall

Good conducting score on high quality paper with secure binding. Be aware that there are three errors in the score: 1) measure 9, violin 2: the 6th and 14th sixteenth notes should be an 'a' 2) measure 50, mandolin part: the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sixteenth notes should be a...

'g' 3) measure 160, mandolin part: the 5th sixteenth note is the note in question. Some sources indicate a 'd' which would be absolutely fine to play. This score indicates a 'f' natural. If you look at the continuo however you will find a 'f' sharp. If you don't opt for playing a 'd' you will have to play a 'f' sharp to match the continuo. I suppose you might even argue for changing the 'f' sharp in the continuo to a 'f' natural to match the 'f' natural in the mandolin part. This would also be a perfectly valid choice.

There's not much explanation of editorial practise here (and what there is is in Italian), but it seems like a clean edition; a few editorial changes and expansions are explained in footnotes. It was what I needed; a close-to-original version to make an arrangement from - not an...

easy performing edition, since there are no parts (and no keyboard reduction). Score with continuo realisation, no parts.

This was so nice to have the music to play along with a cd! I've only been playing mandolin for about a year and a half, but this music gives you something to aspire to! Just need the speed and clean up the notes and then it will almost...

sound like something! Thanks for offering this old world music. It's neat to be able to play something that was written hundreds of years ago!!
