A practical Approach for non-classical Players
The focus of this book is on American mandolin music that was published circa
1900 during the Golden Age of the Mandolin in the United States (1885-1920),
referred to by Mark Twain as The Gilded Age. After a brief overview of period
mandolin techniques, a variety of popular social ballroom dances are then
presented in both staff notation and mandolin tablature, including waltzes,
polkas, schottisches, mazurkas, marches and even the occasional hornpipe.
Along the way, you will discover a variety of idiomatic playing techniques
that will open up new vistas in your own playing. So tune up your mandolin
and get started!
