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.
