Album of Classical Pieces for Viola Vl 1 (Kalmus)

A well-rounded violist needs repertoire that develops style as well as technique, and Album of Classical Pieces – Volume 1 provides an excellent introduction to some of the great masters of earlier classical music. Published in the Kalmus Edition for viola and piano, this collection is transcribed by Paul Klengel and features music by Handel, J. S. Bach, Corelli, Tartini, and Locatelli.

The contrasting selections give developing violists valuable experience with Baroque and early classical phrasing, articulation, ornamentation, rhythm, and ensemble playing. Rather than concentrating on a single composer or technique, Volume 1 provides a varied repertoire through which students can strengthen fundamental skills while learning to recognise differences in musical character and style. It is a practical collection for lessons, examinations, studio study, and recital performance.
