Cette pièce relate un mélange confus d'angoisse, de mal-être et de libération. Composée peu après un concours important, commencée dans un train et terminée dans la quiétude printanières d'un studio Aixois, la pièce doit être jouée tour à tour enfiévrée et dolente. Son caractère improvisé doit se ressentir dans la conduite du discours : l'interprète doit donner l'illusion d'une musique qui naît au fil de l'archet, avec les heurts, les errements mais aussi la fraîcheur caractéristique d'une musique improvisée. / Alto Seul

This work for viola chorus and percussion was commissioned by the London Symphony Chorus and was first performed in October 1994 at the Barbican Hall London by Yuri Bashmet and the London Symphony Chorus conducted by StephenWestrop.The remarkable text of the Troparion written by the great Byzantine poetess-nun Cassiana was the inspiration of The Myrrh-Bearer. The text informed the architecture of the music. The viola solo represents MaryMagdalen as the cello solo represented the Mother of God on The Protecting Veil. This is where the resemblance between the two pieces ends.In The Myrrh-Bearer the Chorus symbolises ‘us’ the ‘sins of the world’ from‘stylized dictatorships’ to ‘the frivolous inane escapist vanities of the world ’ the to cries of ‘help’ after the cosmic catastrophe and finally reaching an apocalyptic climax in the words ‘We have no king by Caesar;’ adownright condemnation of God in the Earthly power.In a surreal way the Magdalen’s ‘sin’ shines through in the viola music because she recognises the Godhead and the endless ‘Kyrie eleison’ chanted by the semi-chorusrepresents her repentance and whatever is left of a ‘repentant’ world.The Myrrh-Bearer explores the whole range of the viola climbing from the depths up to the highest notes and then falling again at the end after theMagdalen’s recognition of the Risen Christ ‘Rabboni.’The last stroke of the gong in the viola’s final bottom C gives a deliberately ominous end to the piece.This is a special item which is made to order.

In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane? and both versions remain a 'must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano- Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering / Alto

Maurice Hauchard (1870-1957) was a French violinist and composer. As a minor composer often in the shadow of his contemporary Maurice Ravel much of Hauchard's music is not widely known. However his Études Des Positions have enhanced the technical progression of many violinists and Alain Mames' transcription of the studies for Viola have also been well-received. As an excellent versatile musician Hauchard loved his art and remains one of the greatest contributors to music education. Études Des Positions (3rd Position) addresses the third handposition in the context of musical techniques such as intervals scales chromaticism and is studies of varying styles. Mames' adaption for the Viola of Hauchard's Études Des Positions is an imperative aid to technical progression.

Haydn 'Symphonie des adieux' est une des oeuvres les plus jouées du répertoire symphonique. Le titre populaire ne découle pas de l'auteur, mais se réfère au mouvement final, à l'issue de laquelle (Adagio) les musiciens arrêter de jouer l'un après l'autre, ne laissant que deux violons à la fin des travaux. Selon une anecdote, sortie des musiciens était un moyen de faire référence aux exigences du travail d'orchestre à Esterháza à la fin de la saison.La publication de Haydn 'Sturm und Drang' Symphonies - la symphonie des adieux et la Symphonie #48 (la soi-disant 'Maria Theresia' Symphony) - représente une continuation de la coopération entre Bärenreiter et la maison d'édition Henle pour les éditions des grandes oeuvres chorales , des opéras et des oeuvres symphoniques.Les publications sont basées sur le Henle 'édition complète des oeuvres de Joseph Haydn'.Les deux symphonies (BA BA 10971 et 10972) sera publiée avec une partition et les parties d'orchestre en vente dans un grand format. / Alto

60 studies for the development of the left hand and the technique of the bow. Par VOLMER BERTA. This volume of studies is intended not only as a supplement to the 'Viola Method' but also, in the coise and varying difficulties of its contents, to be of value to every student of the Viola. These studies which have been extracted from the multitude of excellent etudes for the Violin for their varying technical problems have been chosen with special regard for their suitability to the Viola. The order in which the student works at these studies is left to his, or his teacher's discretion, and therefore as it is not proposed that the book is worked through from beginning to end but that each technical problem is overcome by the most suitable exercise. Unklike hitherto existing collections the technique of the instrument is divided under 7 main headings. As the bowing exercises are in no way exhaustive space has been left for the student or teacher to devise his own./ Etude / Alto

20 Progressive Pieces with Piano Accompaniment-Philip Sparke’s Skilful Solos is the second volume of a progressive series of solo books that takes the young string player from beginner to accomplished musician. Following on from the first book in the series Starter Solos this collection generally contains longer pieces suitable for the developing young musician. Specifically tailored for each instrument Skilful Solos introduces the concept of phrasing by suggesting suitable breathing points and takes the player into new keys with extended instrumental ranges new notes being introduced in a gradual and logical manner. Skilful Solos comes with a play-along CD. The advantages of playing either with piano or CD accompaniment arethat the beginning player can now experience the important aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo which is not always achieved when playing alone.
