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.To obtain a download of the zip file with an MP3 audio recording of this publication, copy the URL below and paste it in your browser address bar.http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.musicsalesclassical.com/media/electronics/Three_Etudes_Viola_Playback_Files.zip.

Perpetuum Mobile, meaning perpetual motioni, is a Latin term that describes an impossible situation in which a substance has infinite energy. This situation is impossible because it violates the first and second laws of Newton. But it is possible in music. Imagine a musical piece that is a continuous stream of notes. These are exactly the etudes in this album. They do not stop, they are always in motion and they can be played continuously. Etudes are solo pieces, purposed to help the musician practice his technique. In this album, each etude is designed to practice another technique. In addition, the etudes in this album are arranged according to the circle of fifths - each etude ends in a key which is dominant to the beginning of the next etude, even the last etude to the first one, and so on and so forth. This further emphasizes the infinite mobility of the music in this piece. Once you enter the loop, you can't get out of it. All the etudes start in a minor key, as a symbol of the sadness of the matter, and end in a major key, to represent the hope, a false hope, that perhaps the next etude will take you out of the loop. This album is a three-year-long project, in which I gathered ideas from the environment in which I live, from the people in it and from their thoughts, from life that continues all the time, and the music that will never stop. Maayan Tal, 17, is a young Israeli musician, pianist and composer.

Studies can be boring - you usually play them alone and the lack of rhythm and harmony can be dispiriting. This very practical collection contains the best studies written throughout two centuries of violin education. The studies - all in the first position - have been provided with completely new piano accompaniments which give a harmonic and rhythmic helping hand, so that practicing becomes more instructive and more fun. Each edition within this concept features two CDs. For each study there are three tracks on the CDs: a demo version, a play-along version in normal tempo and one in a slower, study tempo. The following technical skills are included in the Selected Studiesprogramme: Book 2: For the right hand: string shifts, staccato, legato, spiccato; For the left hand: position work in the second and third position; position shifts, trills. Study and Play is het ideale concept om je spel op een plezierige en verantwoorde manier te ontwikkelen. Bij elke uitgave onder deze noemer worden een of twee cdâ??s meegeleverd die iets extraâ??s toevoegen aan je studiemethode.Met het tweede deel van Selected Studies ontdek je weer nieuwe studeermogelijkheden in combinatie met een handige pianobegeleiding. Er staan voor elke etude drie tracks op de cdâ??s: een voorbeeldversie, een meespeelversie innormaal tempo en één in oefentempo. Het gaat om uitstekende etudes van bekende vioolpedagogen (onder wie F. Wohlfahrt, H. Sitt en G. Wichtl) uit de afgelopen twee eeuwen.

Auf der CD zu Selected Studies bietet das Klavier eine rhythmische und harmonische Unterstützung und sorgt zugleich für einen schönen Klang. Jedes Stück wurde zwei Mal eingespielt: einmal langsam zum Ã?ben und einmal im normalen Tempo. Zusätzlich sind die Klavierbegleitungen im Buch enthalten. Die Etüden stammen alle von anerkannten Spezialisten auf demGebiet des Streicherunterrichts. In ansteigendem Schwierigkeitsgrad lernen Anfänger in Band 1 Techniken in der ersten Lage wie z.B. Detaché, Legato, Portato, Doppelsaiten während die linke Hand sich in Fingerfertigkeit und leichten Doppelgriffen übt. Im zweiten Band trainiert die rechte Hand Lagenwechsel innerhalb der ersten drei Lagen sowie Triller, die rechte Hand übt Saitenwechsel, Staccato, Legato und Spiccato.

Although my wife Elizabeth took me on a two-week Caribbean cruise as a pre-70th birthday vacation gift, two short works for string instruments emerged during the trip: Trance for solo violoncello and Sojournen for solo viola. This cello piece invokes two of the many meanings of spell: an incantation and also a short period of time. The solo is a trance-like, fleeting scherzo in a three-part through-composed design. The entire piece is constructed from very limited material stated in the opening gestures with much use made of open strings. Following an introduction, the three brief sections serve as mini-etudes for glissandi tremolandos, measured tremolos, and double-stopped rapid bowing. I think an omnipresent autumnal aural breeze was in my mind since the soloist's oration -- indeed under a spell -- never lets up, even at very low dynamic levels. This constant motion requires dexterity, finesse and an elegant control from the performer. Trance is approximately five minutes in duration, was written while at sea and completed on December 15, 2003, in Saint Johns, Antigua. The score is dedicated to the American cellist Jeffrey Zeigler.
