Giuseppe Silvestri

Giuseppe Silvestri (1841-1921) was an Italian classical composer and mandolin virtuoso. He is principally remembered today for his role as a mandolinist and for his composition Serenade d'Autrefois. He was a celebrated teacher of the mandolin in Naples and Paris, and he became popular enough to get the criticism that he was causing Parisians to leave the piano for the mandolin.
