Wikipedia
Jean Pietrapertosa (1855–1940) was a composer and virtuoso of the mandolin who performed in Paris in the 1880s. He taught the mandolin and wrote a two-volume mandolin method book, Méthode de mandolin, published in Paris in 1892. He also organized a mandolin orchestra.
There is confusion about the identity of some works by Pietrapertosa. There are works by "J. Pietrapertosa" that may not have been Jean's but Janvier's. It has not been cleared up as to whether these are two different men or if "Janvier Pietrapertosa Fils" is a different person, possibly his son.
