Three Etudes for Viola was composed by American composer and arranger Nico Muhly. Written for Nadia Sirota. Three Etudes for Viola was designed as performance pieces as well as practice, the etudes help to deal with the messy fifth-based string crossings Muhly's harmonic language sometimes outlines. These three etudes can be performed in any order, all together, or singularly. The pre-recorded material for Three Etudes for Viola should be mixed in such a way that the viola rides in the middle of the texture. Etude 2, however, should favor the solo viola.

Practicing scales is essential to building and maintaining strength, technique, tone, and agility on the viola, but it is easy to slip into the habit of playing scales automatically, without paying attention to tonality or sound production. The 29 single-page studies in this book focus the attention of violists on the beauty of sound, with a particular concern for the way different keys resonate on the viola.The first 24 studies address all minor and relative major keys and proceed through the circle of fifths; the last 5 pieces are individually conceived, i.e., apart from the circle of fifths. No metronome indications are given, so the etudes can be played at individually comfortable tempos.The names of the etudes refer to various animals that have scales, including insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and a few species of mammals. The author hopes that in addition to experiencing more enjoyable scale practice, students will be inspired to learn more about these amazing creatures and write scale studies of their own.

Dans la collection Mnemosis, Anne Fuzeau Classique presente le premier volume d'une serie d'ouvrages consacres aux instruments de musique. Chaque volume traitera de tous les aspects d'un instrument des origines a nos jours : histoire, facture, pedagogie, repertoire, interpretes, role dans l'orchestre et dans la musique de chambre. . . Le plan d'ensemble etant toujours chronologique. C'est donc le compagnon indispensable de tous les instrumentistes professionnels ou amateurs, historiens, musicologues. Ce premier ouvrage, consacre a l'alto, est l'oeuvre de Frederic Laine, brillant pedagogue, interprete et historien de cet instrument. Cet ouvrage presente, en une soixantaine de chapitres, un parcours chronologique de l'alto, des origines au XXe siecle. L'histoire de l'alto est singuliere comme l'est le parcours de cet instrument trop proche du violon, et qui pour cette raison a ete tardivement considere comme une specialite. Tout violoniste peut jouer facilement de l'alto, sans etudes particulieres, pense-t-on jusqu'a l'oree du XXe siecle. Ainsi, il parait inutile de s'y consacrer exclusivement et il est souvent considere au mieux comme un instrument d'appoint. Son histoire est donc ecrite par des violonistes qui le servent au gre des occasions, parfois avec enthousiasme, souvent sans grande conviction. Longtemps voue au second role, il va pourtant entamer, en particulier a partir du derniers tiers du XVIIIe siecle, une veritable quete d'identite qui va lui permettre peu a peu de s'echapper de la tutelle violonistique. Ainsi, grace a ceux qui ont percu la richesse de son timbre et de son potentiel (Bach, Mozart, Berlioz, Wagner, Richard Strauss. . . ), aux interpretes qui ont servi sa cause (Rolla, Urhan, Tertis, Hindemith, Vieux, Primrose. . . ), l'alto est aujourd'hui un instrument reconnu, desormais servi par une brillante generation d'interpretes. Cet ouvrage traite les differentes facettes de l'histoire de l'alto (facture, repertoire, interpretes, pedagogie). Il consacre notamment une partie importante au groupe (orchestre et musique de chambre), element essentiel de l'evolution de l'alto et du role musical de l'altiste. Il est complete par un chapitre anatomie de l'instrument (figures et glossaire des termes de lutherie) ainsi que par une importante bibliographie, des illustrations et de nombreux exemples musicaux. L'auteur: Frederic Laine. Apres des etudes d'alto au CNSM de Lyon et d'histoire de la musique au CNSM de Paris, Frederic Laine mene une triple activite d'altiste, d'enseignant et de musicologue. Docteur en musicologie de l'universite de Tours, il a publie en 2002 corpus pedagogique pour l'alto chez Mardaga, et a contribue a plusieurs ouvrages edites chez Fayard, Buchet-Chastel, Symetrie ou par la Cite de la Musique et les Presses universitaires de France. Altiste du trio Cappa, auteur de nombreuses publications pedagogiques (dont une ecole de l'alto en six volumes), il enseigne l'alto et la musique de chambre dans les conservatoires du centre et du XIIIe arrondissement de Paris et au Cefedem de Rueil-Malmaison.

A triptych is a three-part altarpiece. In the middle of these fantasies for viola stands a biblical psalm, on the sides each a poem from the 20th century, which refers to psalms. After Georg Trakl's De Profundis, the first fantasy captures the lonely landscape at the beginning of the poem and the yearning voice of the orphan girl. In the second fantasy (after the 23rd Psalm Davids) pastoral-comforting mood frames the heaviness of the Wandering in the dark valley. The third fantasy of Paul Celan's Psalm lets the music emerge from the void, unfolding a melody with discreet allusions to psalmodody and Jewish music, which, despite shadowy clouding, ultimately allows for flowering (above the thorn).

Due to the success of our Instrumental Fingering Posters, we thought it would be helpful to create a smaller version that could be tucked comfortably into any method book as a reference guide. Unbeknownst to us after days of research, we were left with countless questions, much confusion, and a slew of poorly crafted images from contradicting publications. That being said, we realized that there weren't truly any trustworthy resources in print and decided to address the void. We consulted experts in every category asking questions until both we and they and we were satisfied. Finally, a guide to fingering for beginners that even the experienced players will find beneficial. Santorella's Basic Fingering Charts are essential for anyone that picks up an instrument. Initially intended for beginners but after understanding the importance of false fingerings or more appropriately called, alternate fingerings their necessity is vital for playing certain musical passages on a particular instrument. In addition, after observing the difficulties that students had in identifying key signatures, we decided to include the Circle of Fifths diagram and every major scale in two octaves in every key including their enharmonic counterparts. After all was said in done, we now know, we now have the best educational products available for fingering in the industry. Our Basic Fingering Charts are perfect for private students, classroom study, or simply for a quick and easy reference guide while practicing at home. These graphic reference guides for assorted brass, reeds, woodwinds, and orchestral strings are specifically available for Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Trumpet, Flute, Piccolo, Recorder, Baritone Horn, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Alto Sax, Soprano Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, French Horn, Euphonium, Tuba, Oboe, Bassoon, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass. Every chart displays the entire range of each instrument by clearly depicting the fingering for each note including all their enharmonic substitutions. Each chart includes a diagram identifying the levers, valves, keys, slides, frets and more of each and every instrument. Learn where, when, and why to place your fingers. Now is the time to truly start playing with assured confidence.
