Summary of This Score
Concerto for Oboe d'amore in A major
Reconstruction after BWV 1055
Viola part
This edition offers the viola part of a concerto in A major for oboe d'amore, derived from a reconstruction based on BWV 1055. In the Baroque aesthetic, the viola plays a crucial role: it connects the voices, enriches the harmony, and stabilizes the pulse, while constantly dialoguing with the other strings and the basso continuo.
Throughout the movements, the writing highlights the balance between rhythmic drive and cantabile. For the violist, this is an excellent orchestral study score: managing entrances, articulation precision, bow stroke uniformity within the section, and attentiveness to the handling of long notes and accents. This part is suitable both for concert production and for pedagogical use in a Baroque ensemble (string orchestra and continuo), offering a reading focused on the needs of the section.
