John Goodin Teleman Transcriptions

I was browsing around on Mandolin Cafe today and happened across a posting from John Goodin from about Christmas time.

He's been busily transcribing some of Teleman's work (a baroque composer) for mandolin, and has made available quite a number of pieces.

For those of you who want to improve your music reading capabilities, these are mostly in accessible keys and don't have too many rhythmic curve balls. Besides, Teleman always sounds tuneful and classy.

For mandola players - some of these works are duets for mandolin and mandola. It appears Goodin has written everything in standard notation on the treble clef, so probably will be easy to play on your octave.
