M. Caner, Fiddling for Classical Stiffs (Viola Version) (Latham Music)

Clef switching for viola made easy 

The Pieces de Concours for Viola and Piano, a three-volume edition, is a valuable collection in the rare Viola repertoire of the Romantic era. Even today, the Conservatoire de Paris requires all instrumentalists to perform a contemporary piece, the 'piece de Concours', during their final examination. These pieces, which date back to 1896, were designed to highlight the technical, virtuosic and lyrical skills of the new 'masters'. Although many of these pieces have been forgotten, George Enescu's Konzertstuck (1908) and Hans Sitt's Concerto in G-Dur (1899) have become part of the standard viola repertoire. The present edition has modern fingerings and bowing indications added to the pieces to make them more accessible and facilitate sight-reading.

Twelve Diversions for Viola – Book 2 by Anderson, arranged for viola and published by Bosworth & Co., is a delightful collection of twelve character pieces that help developing violists build technique and musical expression through enjoyable, progressive repertoire.
