Viola Grades 1-5, by renowned educationalist Paul Harris, is designed to help viola players overcome sight-reading problems, especially in the context of graded exams. Step by step you build up a complete picture of each piece, firstly through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific technical issues, then by studying prepared pieces with associated questions, and finally ‘going solo’ with a series of meticulously graded sight-reading pieces.
'With this publication, Komarowski, a Russian violin teacher of Polish descent, comes to America. The first movement is published in Grade 8 of the RCM, placing the work on the level of the Haydn Concerto in G Major. Most of the work is in the first and third position with a touch of fifth. Some more advanced alternate notes are provided, with others for simplification. Fingerings are not given. The composition has a light, happy air about it..a pleasant listening experience for theaudience and an exciting playing experience for the student.' - American String Teacher. Advanced level.
