Have you ever heard of a Crocodillo Lazy Chimliroo or Fluttering Butterworm - not to mention a Pythonippotamus? These are just some of the creatures that feature in Jackaroo an imaginative collection of pieces with a jazzy twist for the absolute beginner viola player.

The addition of words and lively accompaniments by Pam Wedgwood mean that each piece can be sung through first. There’s even the chance to draw your own imaginary animals too inspired by Drew Hillier’s wacky illustrations - how about aSnivelling Skunkpanze?

Belgian organist composer and teacher Joseph Jongen (1873-1953) was admitted to the Liège Conservatoire at the mere age of seven years old. Published in 1925 Allegro Appassionato is an extraordinary addition to the Viola repertoire. Jongen won many awards during his sixteen years of musical education including the Belgain Prix de Rome in 1897. He began composing at age 13 and therefore has an exhaustive catalogue of works to his name. Allegro Appassionato is a virtuosic work for the Viola addressing aspects such as harmonics exploited tonality chromaticism double stops flourishingsemiquavers complex rhythms articulation and a significant amount if performance directions and dynamics among other elements. For all advanced violists Jongen's Allegro Appassionato is essential to a varied repertoire.

For Viola and Piano this is the composer's first opused work. Premiered at the Wigmore Hall in July 1959 by Cecil Aronowitz and Margaret Kitchen.Wood: In 1957 I knew I had newly discovered the music of Schoenberg and hispupils and I knew at once that they were to show me the way forward for my music; as indeed they have ever since. The revelation was primarily an emotional experience for me and however imperfectly their influence wasreceived it was obviously reflected in the all-out chromaticism (new for me then) in the many chains of twelve notes or lesser chromatic formations (which do not here amount to serial working and have only rarely done sosince) in the characteristic harmonic and rhythmic formations the wide and sometimes angular intervals of the melodies and in general the introverted romanticism. Anyway I knew then that this was the sort of music that Ihenceforth would want to write and so I called these Variations my Opus One.The declamatory Introduction leads into the Theme heard on the viola. Six Variations follow of which No.3 is the most violent and No.4 the mostsustainedly lyrical. The recitative-like sixth variation leads into the Finale a more extended movement. The Theme returning on the piano leads to a climax at which there is a citation from Beethoven’s C minor Variations forpiano. Then their characteristics sequence of chords is heard on the piano as an accompaniment to the final statement of my own theme on the viola in the closing bars of the work.

Who would have thought that ragtime would enjoy another renaissance! But more than 50 years after the death of its main representative Scott Joplin the film 'The Sting' has made this once popular style well-known and fashionable again. This small selection of Joplin rags is of course not complete without 'The Entertainer'. In comparison 'Easy Winners' and 'Rag-Time Dance' are no less fun to play particularly since in the latter the performer not only has to play but also stomp his foot. Excellent music providing entertainment for many occasions!

arranged for Piano and Viola-Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most treasured works in the Violin repertoire a masterpiece of cyclic form with a gracefulness and expressive force almost paradigmatic for the age of musical Romanticism. This work was composed in 1886 and was dedicated to the Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe.After Franck’s death in 1890 the original publisher of the Sonata the Parisian house Julien Hamelle announced an arrangement of the work for Viola but it has not been possible to locate any copy of this publication. The present arrangement for Viola is largely based on Jules Delsart’s arrangement for Piano and Cello the onlyversion of the Sonata which the composer authorized. However the Viola part here also adopts extensive passages in their original register or remains in the middle octave especially in those passages where the Cello lies two octaves beneath the Violin.Being set in the alto register the part thus lies between the other two string versions lending the Sonata a delightful hybrid hue beyond the brilliance of the Violin and the sonorousness of the Cello. The Piano part has been left intact and is thus identical to that of the original version.The edition is rounded off by an informative text on the genesis and reception history of the Sonata (Ger/Fr/Eng).

Nikolai Kapustin born in 1937 is regarded as pioneer of the Soviet jazz scene. In his music he combines typical jazz idioms with classical forms. Sonata Op. 69 for viola and piano was written in 1992.

Rhian Samuel's fresh and stimulating vocal and instrumental works have earned her an enviable reputation as a composer willing to tackle challenging subjects and a variety of musical forms. The three contrasting pieces of Blythswood were written at Glaick in Scotland on the mainland across from Skye and each one evokes in terms of seascape or memory the idea of the 'distant view'.

La réputation du compositeur Bohême Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) a toujours été quelque peu éclipsée par celle de Bedrich Smetana et Antonín Dvorák. C'est fort dommage, pour Fibich, bien qu'il est mort jeune, apporté une contribution tout aussi importante à l'émergent styl national tchèque avec son large éventail de compositions. Après le début des leçons de piano avec sa mère comme son premier maître, le garçon ensuite à l'école de musique à Prague, puis au Conservatoire de Leipzig, où il apprend son métier comme compositeur. Il passe quelques mois enseignement de piano à Paris et poursuit ses études avec Vinzenz Lachner à Mannheim. Prague a finalement pour devenir le centre d'activités musicales du Fibich : comme son rêve d'un poste au Conservatoire est resté déçus, son emploi principal était donner des leçons de musique privée et comme un compositeur Zdenek Fibich a écrit des oeuvres de nombreux genres musicaux : chant et musique de chambre, pièces pour piano et oeuvres orchestrales, opéras, musique de scène et mélodrames, récitals littéraires avec orc... / Alto Et Piano
