about

Two original compositions for the mandolin, written 186 years apart! Johann Hoffman wrote a concerto and a number of chamber pieces for the mandolin. This duet for mandolin and violin was published in 1799, and was recorded from copies of the original parts in the British Library. Mandolin Night was written in 1985 by Pamela J. Marshall, and was one of the first pieces to be written for Neil Gladd. It incorporates duo-style (playing some notes with tremolo and other notes without tremolo, at the same time), plucking the strings with a finger, and scordatura. At the beginning of the piece, one of the E strings is tuned down to a C#, then WHILE PLAYING, one of the G strings is tuned down a quarter tone, for a short quarter tone passage, then it is tuned down further to an E flat for the remainder of the piece.
