Enesco, Concertstuck for Viola (Masters Music)

Discover one of the finest concert works in the twentieth-century viola repertoire with Concertstück (Concert Piece) by George Enescu, published by Masters Music. Originally composed in 1906 for the Paris Conservatoire viola competition, this remarkable single-movement work combines rich Romantic lyricism with the colourful harmonies of French Impressionism and subtle influences from Enescu's Romanian musical heritage. Written to showcase both expressive musicianship and technical brilliance, the Concertstück demands lyrical cantabile playing, virtuosic passagework, and refined collaboration between viola and piano. This Master's Music edition provides advanced violists with an outstanding recital and competition work while developing tone production, bow control, shifting, vibrato, double stops, articulation, phrasing, rhythmic precision, and musical interpretation. Ideal for conservatory study, diploma examinations, auditions, competitions, and concert performance, it remains one of Enescu's most celebrated contributions to the viola repertoire.
