Album of Classical Pieces for Viola Vl 3 (Kalmus)

A varied collection for the developing violist, Album of Classical Pieces – Volume 3 brings together well-known music from several major composers in arrangements for viola and piano. Published in the Kalmus Edition and transcribed by Julius Klengel, this 36-page volume continues the series, offering repertoire with greater musical and technical variety while remaining highly useful for lessons and performance.

The collection includes works and excerpts by composers such as Rameau, Schubert, Mozart, Gluck, and Brahms, giving players opportunities to explore contrasting periods and musical characters. Highlights include Rameau’s Les Tendres Plaintes, Schubert’s Adagio from the Arpeggione Sonata, Mozart’s Andante from Horn Concerto No. 2, and selections from Brahms’ Op. 33. This diversity makes Volume 3 particularly useful for developing phrasing, articulation, tonal colour, ensemble skills, and stylistic awareness.
