A precious gem of romantic viola literature is now available in Henle quality! Thanks to the publisher's good connections to Russian archives, we were able to assess Glazunov's autograph for the first time for this first Urtext edition, and uncover the discrepancies between the autograph and the first print. Written in 1893 for the Danish violist Franz Hildebrand, the Elégie is one of the few original works of the 19th century for viola and thus a welcome enrichment of the repertoire. Since the piece does not make any particularly high technical demands on the soloist, the Elégie is ideally suited for teaching as well - and Tabea Zimmermann's fingerings guarantee the best possible support. / Alto Et Piano

From the Golden Globe nominated movie The Reader comes three arrangemetns for Viola and Piano.The Piano takes the lead with the Viola instead providing drones shimmers and swells.

For Viola and Piano. This piece is one of the finest compositions for viola by one of the instrument's greatest players. It is luxuriant in melodic inventions and startlingly beautiful in its instrumental colours. The piano is a full partner to the viola contributing an equal share of melodic interest and colouristic effects.

These four pieces were written separately between 1901 and 1910 for cello and piano. They subsequently appeared in print in different versions ranging from piano solo to full orchestra. The composer was himself a fine viola player and it is hoped would have welcomed these transcriptions for viola and piano published here for the first time.

Commissioned by the Wigmore Hall for the composer's 60th birthday with funds from ACNI.'viola:piano is one of a set of 6 pieces which I wrote in 2008 and 2009. Two of the others violin:piano and cello:piano requirethe instrumentalists to play at different tempi from each other throughout. In this piece the players are playing together but their material is for the most part quite different and for the first 12 minutes the two partshave little in common. It is only after this that they begin a more conventional contrapuntal relationship. This is the first of these pieces to be premiered. It was commissioned by the Wigmore Hall with funding from the ArtsCouncil of Ireland. The piece is dedicated to Mary R?rich.'????????????- Kevin Volans

Copland 2000 separate part - viola (piano accompaniment available separately = BHI102644)-Aaron Copland's music is characteristically and recognisably American. Copland's untiring efforts to ensure that his works would speak to the average citizen as well as to his fellow artists made him one of the most honoured cultural figures in United States history. Among countless awards and honours Copland received the Pulitzer Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This exciting series of arrangements offers soloists the opportunity to experience some of Copland's pioneering musical achievements in the establishment of a uniquely American idiom.
