Contains 644-8 & 644-9. The essential treatise from the master of Neopolitan mandolin technique now accessible to the English-speaking student. Extremely detailed, lucid, truly comprehensive, well-organized, and beautifully presented, this six-part guide leads the student by explanation, example, and well-tailored, musically intriguing exercises towards real mastery of the instrument. Mike Marshall: "This is the most comprehensive set of instructions that I have ever seen provided for a mandolinist who wants to develop these extended techniques. Not until I studied Calace's music with Caterina, and began to unravel the mystery of what was written on the page, did I finally begin to appreciate the wealth of great music that was always there. Only then did I finally grasp the importance of this man's legacy to the mandolin world." Coil-bound. Notation only. 108 & 84 pp.
