Par STACY PHILLIPS. Ce livre contient une sélection de violon tunes arrangé pour deux altos. L'idée est de fournir un échantillon des mélodies qui sera amusant pour compter les joueurs. L'un des inconvénients de la manière classique de l'alto de l'enseignement est l'ennui de certains du répertoire pédagogique au début. Cet ouvrage se veut un antidote à l'ennui. Les airs de violon sont d'excellents moyens de sont habitués à des manipulations typiques des écailles de major et d'introduire le bruit des arpèges. Les morceaux ont été choisis pour leur plaisir mélodique contenu tout en faisant preuve de certains aspects typiques du violon. Elles sont regroupées en cinq catégories : fiddle tunes, mélodies lentes, bluegrass, turluttes et chiffons et swing. Le CD split-piste inclus montre beaucoup de la mélodie avec accompagnement de guitare. / Niveau : Débutant / Fiddle Tunes - Duets / Recueil / 2 Altos

Par BERIO LUCIANO. This set of arrangements of Luciano Berio’s “Duetti”, originally for two violins, represents a fascinating expansion of the limited repertoire for two violas. Berio originally conceived these duets as a collection of occasional pieces, each dedicated to someone who was close to him, rather like Elgar’s “Enigma” Variations, but they eventually developed into a full compositional project with pedagogical overtones. As such, there is a wide variation in technical demands, from pieces playable by beginners up to a duet that foreshadows the skills required for Berio’s “Sequenza” for the viola. Taken as a whole, over some years of study, the “Duetti” can gently lead players into the mysteries of contemporary music; however, the composer also envisaged them in a concert performance of the complete cycle with at least 24 players of differing abilities taking turns to play. In this guise, it might be an intriguing idea to mix them with the original version for two violins (UE17757), although it must be understood that the two versions are not mutually compatible to be played as violin/viola duets./ Répertoire / 2 Altos
