Summary of This Score
12 pieces extracted from the ballet Romeo and Juliet, arranged for 1 or 2 violas and piano by Vadim Borisovsky.
This score offers a selection of striking pages from Serge Prokofiev's famous ballet, transcribed to provide violists with a repertoire that is both prestigious and accessible in a reduced ensemble. The writing highlights the warm voice of the viola, capable of expressing both lyrical tenderness and the dramatic tension inherent in this work. The piano, conceived as a full musical partner, supports the harmony, rhythmic energy, and changes in atmosphere, while preserving the original orchestral spirit.
Thanks to the option to play with one or two violas, this edition adapts to many situations: individual practice with accompaniment, viola duo with piano for chamber music, auditions, exams, or recital programming. The various pieces allow addressing essential skills (intonation in positions, timbre homogeneity, articulation, contrasts, dynamic control, rhythmic setting), while remaining musically rewarding. An excellent way to enrich your viola repertoire with a major 20th-century score, in an arrangement recognized for its musicality.
