Filippo Sauli: Allemande - Petter Dyndahl, Baroque mandolin

Few details are known about the Italian theorbist and composer Filippo Sauli. His most notable compositions are six partitas for the Baroque mandolin, which where written around 1700. The piece I am playing here is the second movement, Allemande, from Partita No. 5 in G minor. The instrument is a six-course mandolino (Baroque mandolin), built by James Marriage based on an original Milanese instrument currently exhibited at the Cité de la musique museum in Paris.
