Summary of This Score
Six Pieces for Viola and Piano arranged and edited by Watson Forbes. brings together six carefully selected pieces for viola, accompanied by piano. This collection emphasizes musicality, the instrument's color, and phrasing work: an excellent resource to develop a full sound, a singing line, and nuanced interpretation.
You will find a particularly balanced program, alternating lyricism and liveliness: Barcarolle and Chanson Triste by Tchaikovsky, Capriccio Italien Op.45 (also by Tchaikovsky) for a brighter atmosphere, a Berceuse Op.13 by Alexander Ilynsky with tender accents, as well as Bourrée and Hornpipe by Henry Purcell to work on style and articulation. The collection is completed with Two Songs Without Words by Felix Mendelssohn, perfect for refining cantilena and balance with the piano.
Thanks to the diversity of characters, this score is suitable both for building a program and for regular studio work: each piece offers a distinct technical and musical objective (intonation, bow control, phrase breathing, dialogue with the accompaniment).
