About this method
Solos For The Viola Player - Book/Online Audio is a collection designed for violists who want to enrich their repertoire with short, lyrical and contrasting pieces, while benefiting from full accompaniment. The book includes the piano score and a separate viola part, making it ideal both for lessons and rehearsals with a pianist.
The program explores a variety of styles, including Schubert (Adagio from the âArpeggione Sonataâ), Mozart (Andante), Beethoven (March), as well as pieces by Bach, Handel, Brahms and Wolf, along with traditional selections such as âShenandoahâ and âWere You There?â. This diversity provides an opportunity to work on tone, phrasing and articulation in different musical contexts, from dance-inspired styles (Menuetto, German Dance) to more intimate lyricism (Romance, Verborgenheit).
The Online Audio is an ideal complement to your practice: it provides support for fine-tuning intonation and rhythm, while the tempo adjustment option on a computer helps you master challenging passages before gradually returning to the desired speed. A particularly suitable format for independent viola practice, audition preparation or putting together a set of concert pieces with piano.
