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 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.
