Edited by Kurt Jenisch and Eckart Schloifer
There has long been a need for a practical and easily accessible volume such as this.
The contents of this edition were developed from suggestions of the German Music Council and is based on statistical surveys of the German Orchestra Association (DOV) and on the longtime professional experience gained by the editors themselves, all of whom are members of orchestras and conservatory teachers.
The Pièces de Concours is a rare collection of three viola and piano volumes containing the Romantic viola repertoire. At the Paris Conservatoire, all instrumentalists must perform a contemporary piece, known as the 'pièce de concours,' to demonstrate their mastery of technical, virtuosic, and lyrical skills. Unfortunately, many of these exam pieces have been forgotten, and only two of them, George Enescu's Konzertstück and Hans Sitt's Concerto in G-Dur, have become standard repertoire for the viola. To make these works more accessible, this edition has added modern fingerings and bowing indications.
This lovely movement from Camille Saint-Saens' suite The Carnival of the Animals is published here with a Viola part and the usual Cello part. It comes as part of the highly respected Edition Peters catalogue.
