{"product_id":"the-early-mandolin-9780198163022","title":"The Early Mandolin","description":"The name mandolin was used to refer to two quite different instruments: the gut-stringed \u003cem\u003emandolino\u003c\/em\u003e, played with the fingers, and the later metal-stringed \u003cem\u003eNeapolitan mandoline\u003c\/em\u003e, which was played with a plectrum. This is the first book devoted exclusively to these two early instruments about which information in reference books is scant and often erroneous. The authors uncover their rich and varied musical history, examining contemporary playing techniques and revealing the full extent of the instruments' individual repertories, which include works by Vivaldi, Sammartini, Stamitz, and Beethoven. The book's ultimate aim is to help today's players to produce artistically satisfying performances through an understanding of the nature and historical playing style of these unjustly neglected instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tyler, Paul Sparks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.86h x 7.28w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198163022\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarendon Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39930789593203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_fcade713-7fb8-4431-a13e-2d8536afad93.jpg?v=1647699798","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-early-mandolin-9780198163022","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
