Sonate Nr. VI op. 2 (10'30)
for mandolin and guitar
arr. by Marga Wilden-Hüsgen
continuo: Marlo Strauß

level of difficulty: medium to high

The composer shows here again his impressive skills to combine instrumental effects and melodic beauty in an homogeneous unit. In his 1768 in Paris published pedagogical work he taught mandolin techniques. These are processed absolutely demanding in these sonatas. They thus show the incredible development of the art of mandolin playing in the second half of the 18th century.
