Summary of This Score
The collection "Best of Viola Classics - 16 Famous Concert Pieces" for viola and piano, presented by Schott, brings together 16 carefully chosen concert pieces to build a solid, musical, and expressive repertoire. The collection offers a true guiding thread for weekly practice as well as program preparation: sonatas, romances, character pieces, and salon pieces alternate to develop tone, articulation, intonation, and musicality.
From the Baroque refinement of Telemann to the more modern and rhythmic writing of Kirchner, the student explores highly contrasting styles and languages. The Romantic and post-Romantic pages (Schumann, Kiel, Rubinstein, Joachim, Herzogenberg, Fuchs, Taneiev, Senfter) provide ideal material to work on phrasing, line breathing, dynamics, and the singing quality unique to the viola. The piano accompaniment, present throughout the volume, allows the development of listening skills, ensemble coordination, and harmonic understanding in a chamber music setting. A particularly relevant choice for assembling "ready-to-play" study pieces and building a convincing audition repertoire.
