Viola Concerto #2 In G

The Bohemian composer Jan K titel Va hal/Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739 1813) settled in Vienna around 1763. There he wrote several concertos for various instruments of which two for Viola have survived. Both are evidently not original compositions but arrangements by Va hal of some of his own works a common practice of that time. The Viola Concerto In C Major is based on Va hal's Cello concerto in the same key.Barenreiter's new revised edition makes this Concerto available once again. The solo part contains cadenzas for each movement.Performance material is available for hire.

Reduction for viola and piano-William Walton composed his Viola Concerto in 1928-9 and it was given its premiere at a Promenade Concert at Queen's Hall London on 3rd October 1929. In the beginning Viola players adjusted the solo line to fit their own ideas of the work's character and Walton was generally happy to accomodate this. However he came to regard one player's version above all the others for its discipline and balance - that of Frederick Riddle. Riddle's edition was originally published with a Piano reduction of the first Orchestration in 1938 and it is this that forms that basis for the solo line in this edition. This present Piano reduction was made by Geoffrey Pratleyand published in 1993.

Viola Concerto is a piece composed by Nico Muhly for Viola and Piano Reduction. This piece is dedicated to the violist Nadia Sirota for whom it was written and by whom it was first performed. A full performance lasts around 24 minutes this is the Score and Part.

in B-Dur / Bb Major-German composer Carl Stamitz wrote more than 60 concertos for Violin Viola Viola d'amore Cello Clarinet Basset Horn Flute Bassoon and other instruments. Some of the Clarinet and Viola concertos that Stamitz composed are considered to be among the finest available from the period. Stylistically Stamitz's music is not too far removed from the works of the young Mozart or those of Haydn's middle period. The Clarinet Concerto No. 3 was likely written around 1785 which was the same year that Stamitz was appointed the lead Violin of the Duc de Noailles in Paris. The style of thisconcerto reflects the usual orchestration found in the mid-eighteenth century where most of the important musical material was given to the strings while the winds were left to fill in the harmony. Carl Stamitz's style is pleasant and free-flowing as nicely illustrated in this concerto.
