The 18 pieces in Volumes 1 and 2 are structured to follow the same progression of finger patterns introduced in the Early Start method. This systematic progression helps the student to solidify the hand position and improve intonation. The basic bowing techniques do not require changes in bow speed or sounding point. The young performer can focus on a straight and beautifully placed bow that produces a pleasing and clear sound. Volume 1 can be used as a supplement to the 'Early Start on the Viola method', Volumes 1 and 2 (BA 9686 and BA 9687). Volume 2 (BA 8991) can be used as a supplement to the 'Early Start on the Viola method?, Volume 2 (BA 9687). / Alto Et Piano (Ou 2 Altos)

They can also be played to good effect in recitals.This delightful selection adds many fresh colours to the learner's repertoire, including an almost exotic flair in 'Danse Espagnole? (Bénoni Lagye), 'Capriccio Polka? (Salvador Leonardi) or 'The Temple Bells? (Amy Woodforde-Finden).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. He continues in the tradition of 'Early Start on String Instruments? founded by his father, Egon Sassmannshaus.

Brahms had already announced his ?retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld's much admired playing and inspired him to write two clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. It remains unclear when exactly Brahms drafted viola parts to his two sonatas. In any case the viola and clarinet versions of the works were first published by Simrock at the same time in 1895. Today there is no doubt about Brahms' authorship of the viola parts. They include important differences from the clarinet original in order to do justice to this string instrument.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the sonatas' origins, their compositional process, pre-publication performances, their publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death, a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners, treatises and essays, early instructive editions and historical recordings, the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. By a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing, dynamics and accentuation, dots and strokes, slurring and non legato, piano pedalling and overholding, piano arpeggiation and dislocation, string instrument fingering, string instrument harmonics and vibrato, the editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the works.At the same time, the edition offers an exciting and often surprising insight into musical interpretation of the German Romantic Era in general.- A pioneering Urtext edition- With an unmarked Urtext part- With a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of Brahms- With an extensive Performance Practice Commentary- For further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: 'Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms' Chamber Music?, BA 9600 / Alto Et Piano

Cette pièce s'inscrit dans le prolongement de ma réflexion sur les rapports peinture-musique, commencée avec Nicolas de Staël dans mon concerto pour alto Les Rayons du jour et continuée avec Turner. Le titre est en effet issu d'une toile de Whistler Nocturne en bleu et or: la baie de Southampton, l'une de sa série des Nocturnes que Debussy admirait particulièrement. L'allusion à Debussy est ici volontaire, la facture de ce tableau (Un nocturne est tout d'abord un arrangement de lignes, de formes et de couleurs, disait Whistler) correspondant à la liberté de la forme chez Debussy, liberté dont nous sommes les heureux héritiers. D'autre part, mon travail compositionnel étant particulièrement axé sur l'expression du mouvement, j'ai voulu traiter ici son antidote, l'immobile, le silence, la paix intérieure admirablement évoqués dans cette toile, immobilité au sein de laquelle renaît le mouvement, de façon d'abord fugitive, puis éclatante. D'où la structure en miroir de cette pièce allant de l'immobile au mouvement et du mouvement à l'immobile.
