Three of Calace’s most popular and accessible Intermediate level pieces.
• Rondo, op.127
• Romanza, op.134
• Tarantella, op.18

Calace wrote over 170 pieces for mandolin altogether ranging from easy Waltzes (also available from Astute: 4 Easy Waltzes for Mandolin solo with optional guitar accompaniment) through to his two large scale and challenging Concerti. Much of his music is whimsical, charming and, occasionally, frivolous; but he has also written many emotionally charged pieces of some substance.

These are three of Calace’s most popular and accessible Intermediate level pieces. Some of Calace’s pieces for mandolin and piano had alternative guitar parts written by the composer, but many have been arranged with guitar parts over the years by different players and publishers. All three of these pieces work equally well with either piano or guitar accompaniment. Each piece throws up its own challenges for the player and can be treated in different ways according to the player’s individual abilities. Above all, each of these three pieces is fun and rewarding to play.
