Johann Sebastian Bach Chaconne on mandolin
The Partita in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) by Johann Sebastian Bach was written between 1717 and 1720. It is a part of his compositional cycle called Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin.
A chaconne (Spanish: chacona, Italian: ciaccona, earlier English: chacony) is a type of musical composition often used as a vehicle for variation on a repeated short harmonic progression, often involving a fairly short repetitive bass-line (ground bass) which offers a compositional outline for variation, decoration, figuration and melodic invention.
In this it closely resembles the passacaglia. It originates and was particularly popular in the Baroque era; a large number of Chaconnes exist from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The ground bass, if there is one, may typically descend stepwise from the tonic to the dominant pitch of the scale; the harmonies given to the upper parts may emphasize the circle of fifths or a derivative pattern thereof.
Giuseppe Pettine (born Giuseppe Antonio Luigi Pettine; in Isernia, Italy, 13 February 1874 - 1966) was an Italian-American concert mandolinist, teacher, and composer.
Pettine started to study the mandolin with Camille Mastropaolo at a very early age. After the Pettine family emigrated to the United States in 1889 and settled in Providence, Rhode Island, Giuseppe was regarded as a child prodigy of the mandolin because of his great concert appearances.
Raffaele Calace (1863-1934) dedicated his First Mandolin Concerto op. 113 to Pettine, his fellow countryman and friend, in honor of his skills and passion for the mandolin.
Pettine was a member of the Big Trio, a trio formed by guitarist William Foden, banjoist Frederick Bacon and Giuseppe Pettine on mandolin. He published a mandolin method book in 1896, and a comprehensive seven-volume tutorial for the mandolin, titled Pettine's Modern Mandolin School.
He also became a teacher of the Italian mandolin technique. Members of his school of American mandolinists include William Place Jr. (1889-1959) and Alfonso Balasone (Albert Bellson, 1897-1977).
Today the Pettine method is still regarded as one of the most comprehensive works for mandolin ever published.
Besides these activities Pettine was concerned with the development and production of fine mandolins. For this he worked in close cooperation with the well-known VEGA musical instrument manufacturers company in Boston, creating the "Giuseppe Pettine Special" model, a soloist mandolin modelled after the modern Neapolitan mandolin designed by the Vinaccia luthier family of Naples.
As a composer he greatly contributed to the mandolin repertoire, writing original music for solo mandolin and mandolin in combination with other instruments. Works include his published three-movement concerto titled Concerto Patetico for mandolin and piano accompaniment. This concerto also exists in an unpublished incomplete version for solo mandolin and orchestra consisting of winds and plucked instruments. The orchestra parts were written for first and second mandolin, mandola, mandoloncello, bass, tenor banjo, flute, piccolo flute, clarinet in A, bassoon, horn in F and timbales.
Another of Pettine's compositions for solo mandolin is his Fantasia Romantica, a substantial work in which he emphasizes the wonderful possibilities of the instrument by including seldom-heard harmonics, both natural and artificial, with chord arpeggios and virtuosic scale passages.
Not all of Pettine's works were for the mandolin. In 1925, he published 44 Solos in Duo Style, a book of moderate to advanced-level etudes and solo pieces for the tenor banjo. According to the book's preface, it was written twenty-five years after his "systematized 'Duo School' for the Mandolin" and was the first complete book on the 'Duo Style of Tenor Banjo Playing'.

Yes, it was not easy to clean this old vinyle recording, but we’re happy to share it with our mando friends.

If you told me of someone performing the Chaconne on a mandolin I wouldve said its impossible.

You never hear talk about Alon Sariel or Giuseppe Anedda?
@@sonatonemaster I don’t know much (next to nothing actually lol) about mandolin players. But it was immediately after posting my comment that I realized the mandolin is strung and tuned identically to the violin and so should be techically possible. How they play the upper frets on the mandolin is impressive as hell though.
it seems like a fight against despair, I don't feel like he wins in the end
For sure after that he had 3-4 weeks holidays 😂
And fingers in ice for many hours 🙃
