A recent posting about Schoenberg's "Moses und Aron" reminded me of a question I have been wanting to ask all of you. I recently started to play the mandolin for the two professional orchestras here in Brisbane on the rare occasions that they have required it. Due to this I did some research as to what music there was for orchestral mandolin. I found the following: Mozart - "Don Giovanni" Deh vieni alla finestra (this is where it all started for me) Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet Respighi - Roman Festivals Korngold - "Die Tote Stadt" Mahler - Symphonies 7 & 8 and "Das Lied von der Erde" Schoenberg - "Moses und Aron" I also read that Verdi's "Falstaff" and "Otello" and Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" (although the productions of F & DP done here used guitars) have mandolin but have been able to find evidence of such. I also recall a Stravinsky piece (possibly Agon) but can't quite remember. I am interested to know if there are other works with mandolin. Any new information or confirmation or otherwise of the above will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Matthew Gillett
