A precious gem of romantic viola literature is now available in Henle quality! Thanks to the publisher's good connections to Russian archives, we were able to assess Glazunov's autograph for the first time for this first Urtext edition, and uncover the discrepancies between the autograph and the first print. Written in 1893 for the Danish violist Franz Hildebrand, the Elégie is one of the few original works of the 19th century for viola and thus a welcome enrichment of the repertoire. Since the piece does not make any particularly high technical demands on the soloist, the Elégie is ideally suited for teaching as well - and Tabea Zimmermann's fingerings guarantee the best possible support. / Alto Et Piano

Sarah Feigin *1928: Reflections on a Niggun (1999) (6:05') Helene Liebmann 1795-nach 1835: Andante con Variation (7:06'). 3. Satz der Sonate op. 11 Die zweibändige Ausgabe unter dem Titel ?Miriam's Song' (Das Lied der Mirjam) ist jüdischen Komponistinnen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts gewidmet. Sie beinhaltet Viola-Bearbeitungen der Werke von Fanny Hensel geb. Mendelssohn, Vally Weigl, Lena Stein-Schneider und Ruth Schonthal (Band 1). Das von Schonthal aufgenommene Allegro moderato ist eine Originalkomposition für Viola und Klavier. Im 2. Band begegnen wir den Komponistinnen Helene Liebmann und Sarah Feigin. Der Titel der Ausgabe bezieht sich auf die Rolle der Prophetin Mirjam, der älteren Schwester von Mose und Aaron. Beim Auszug des israelischen Volkes aus Ägypten führte sie nach der Durchquerung des Schilfmeeres den Freudentanz und Gesang der Frauen an (2. Buch Mose 15,20-21). Bezeichnenderweise hat der Berliner Maler Wilhelm Hensel im 19. Jahrhundert seine Frau, die Komponistin Fanny Hensel geb. Mendelssohn, als Mirjam porträtiert.Das Repertoire romantischer Konzertliteratur für Viola ist recht begrenzt. Den Herausgebern ist es ein Anliegen, den im Original für Violine, Violoncello oder Klarinette geschriebenen Werken durch die Bearbeitung zu größerer Verbreitung zu verhelfen.'Revue Musicale Suisse / Schweizer MusikzeitungApril 2012 Seite 39, Walter Amadeus Ammann: Kompositionen jüdischer Frauen :Die Prophetin Mirjam, Schwester von Moses und Aaron, führte die Frauen beim Auszug aus Ägypten bei Tanz und Gesang an. Das Motto der zwei Hefte Miriam's Song deckt sich mit dem Schicksal der sechs Komponistinnen, die hier mit Stücken von drei bis sieben Minuten Dauer vertreten sind. Fanny Hensel traute sich nicht, ihre Werke zu publizieren, Vally Weigl und Ruth Schonthal mussten wegen der Nazis emigrieren, Lena Stein wurde durch eine Schweizer Delegation aus Theresienstadt befreit, Helene Liebmann änderte 1820 in Berlin wegen antisemitischer Repressalien ihren Namen auf Liebelt und Sarah Feigin wanderte 1972 von Lettland nach Israel aus.Die für Violine, Violoncello oder Klarinette mit Klavier geschriebenen Stücke in mäßiger Schwierigkeit eignen sich vorzüglich für die Bratsche.

Edited after: Paul Hindemith, Complete Works, Vol. V/7 Instrument : viola and piano Nombre de Pages : 64 The genesis of the viola sonata reflects the eventful life of Hindemith in the winter of 1938/39 and owes its completion to Hindemith's ability to compose even while travelling, especially on trains. Hindemith himself said about his viola sonata: '... It is a powerful, well-fed piece with durable lining for cold weather. Second movement with a tricky rhythm to which one has to creep up carefully in order to master it. In the last movement which consists of two variations on an already fully developed rondo movement...' Hindemith shows again the wide range of his compositional and formal brilliance. New edition based on the text of the Hindemith Complete Edition.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld for making the elderly Brahms so interested in his instrument. In the 1890s the composer wrote the Trio op. 114, the Quintet op. 115 and the Sonatas op. 120 - three gems in the clarinet chamber music repertoire. Brahms also provided a part for viola as an alternative to the clarinet. The revision of our edition of the viola version of opus 120 is based on the musical text of the New Brahms Complete Edition and in many respects contains significant improvements: we were able to consult the autograph for the first time - the newly set piano score now contains the viola part - and viola players can benefit from fingerings and bowings by Tabea Zimmermann in the solo part. / Alto Et Piano

The pieces can be interspersed in lessons at the teacher's discretion to enliven the repertoire.Each piece is accompanied by duo version in which the teacher or an advanced learner can play the second part. There is also a piano part that can be played by the teacher or parents.- New recital pieces for the proven viola tutor- Well-known traditionals- Every piece in first position- Second viola part for duo performance- Piano accompanimentAll the pieces in the four 'Viola Recital Albums? represent welcome additions to the already varied repertoire of Egon Sassmannhaus's viola tutor 'Early Start on the Viola.?Kurt Sassmannshaus is the editor of many string editions in the Bärenreiter catalogue.

Par BRIDGE FRANK. These four pieces were written separately between 1901 and 1910 for cello and piano. They subsequently appeared in print in different versions, ranging from piano solo to full orchestra. The composer was himself a fine viola player, and, it is hoped, would have welcomed these transcriptions for viola and piano, published here for the first time./ Répertoire / Alto et Piano

Par SUZUKI SHINICHI. FOR THE STUDENT This material is part of the worldwide Suzuki Method of teaching. Companion recordings should be used with these publications. In addition, there are viola part books that go along with this material. FOR THE TEACHER In order to be an effective Suzuki teacher, a great deal ongoing education is required. Your national Suzuki association provides this for its membership. Teachers are encouraged to become members of their national Suzuki associations and maintain a teacher training schedule, in order to remain current, via institutes, short-term programs and long-term programs. You are also encouraged to join the International SuzukiAssociation. FOR THE PARENT Credentials are essential for any teacher you choose. We recommend you to ask your teacher for his credentials, especially those relating to traning in the Suzuki Method. The Suzuki Method should be a positive one, where there exists a wonderful, fostering relationship between child, parent and teacher. So choosing the right teacher is of the utmost importance. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Pédagogie / Méthode / Alto et Accompagnement Piano

The peripatetic life and career of the Belgian composer Henry Vieuxtemps anticipated the European concept almost prophetically in the 19th century. The best example is his Elégie of 1848: written in St. Petersburg, it celebrated its greatest triumphs in Paris, was printed in Offenbach am Main, and enthusiastically reviewed in London. Critics were quick to note the expressive contrasts as well as the bravura style of the coda, which was 'elegant and at the same time brilliant?. Following the publication of the Sonata op. 36 (HN 577), the Elégie op. 30 now takes its place among Vieuxtemps' viola works for the first time in an Urtext edition. Tabea Zimmermann was once again entrusted with the bowings- the preface was written by the Vieuxtemps specialist Marie Cornaz. / Alto Et Piano
