A remarkable set of 40 variations derived from a single melody by Otaker Sevcik. Arranged for the Viola with Piano accompaniment the variations become progressively more complex and difficult throughout the work making this set ideal as a set of challenging exercises for the Viola student. As well as presenting a huge variety of technical goals much can be learned from this work about the nature of composition melody-building and the potential versatility of a single melodic idea. A superb and satisfyingly musical teaching aid.
