l
"Mozart's Mandolin" There are relatively few "big names" among the

His most famous piece for mandolin is the canzonetta from the opera Don
Giovanni for baritone, mandolin and orchestra, and two arias for solo voice
and mandolin.
"Beethoven's Mandolin" In the late 1700s, when Ludwig van Beethoven
was a young man in Vienna, was the mandolin in a period of popularity
amongst the cultured aristocracy throughout Europe, and was then regarded
as an excellent instrument, both to play on and listen to.
