Three Etudes for Viola was composed by American composer and arranger Nico Muhly. Written for Nadia Sirota. Three Etudes for Viola was designed as performance pieces as well as practice, the etudes help to deal with the messy fifth-based string crossings Muhly's harmonic language sometimes outlines. These three etudes can be performed in any order, all together, or singularly. The pre-recorded material for Three Etudes for Viola should be mixed in such a way that the viola rides in the middle of the texture. Etude 2, however, should favor the solo viola.To obtain a download of the zip file with an MP3 audio recording of this publication, copy the URL below and paste it in your browser address bar.http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.musicsalesclassical.com/media/electronics/Three_Etudes_Viola_Playback_Files.zip.
