Will ask yourself why you couldn’t meet this CD before

I’ve came across with this CD in Ankara with almost no money on me. Tired of seeing CDs of Piano Concerto No.X or Symphony No.X, this CD was something a lot interesting.
When I listened it, I realized that I was right. Beethoven’s mandolin works are minor compared to other larger works but not poorer in musical structure. However mandolin was not a ‘popular’ instrument as violin then, nor can it play in such a broad spectrum of notes and amplitudes. However, it is a vital symbol of the musical alphabet to transmit feelings. I guess Beethoven was aware of that.
