Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra
violist Randolph Kelly
had premiered Adler's
Viola Concerto in 2000,
but the orchestra's
artistic management
preferred that he not
perform a contemporary
work for his next solo
appearance. With that
guideline, Kelly
contacted Adler, the
master of orchestration,
to arrange the Brahms
Sonata in F minor, Opus
120 for viola and
orchestra. In this new
setting, The piece
promises to bring the
lush romantic strains of
the famous sonata to a
larger audience without
upsetting the purists.
