Description
The mandolin reached prominence as a solo instrument in the 17th century when it began to appear in operas and oratorios, and in chamber and solo repertoire. Amongst the most prominent composers for the instrument were Niccol? Ceccherini and Pietro Cappellini, masters of polyphony. But it was Filippo Sauli's Sei partite, composed for the four-course mandolin, that constitute a body of work unique in early 18th-century mandolin repertoire - a kaleidoscopic digest of different styles and influences that combine French and Italian traditions in music of exquisite taste and expressive beauty.
