Many violists know Garth Knox as author of Viola Spaces (ED 20520), the groundbreaking compendium of modern playing techniques on the viola. In this edition, he applies them to variations on the famous 'Folies Espagne' by the French gamba virtuoso Marin Marais. Each variation is dedicated to a certain technique, such as the generation of harmonics, quarter tones, glissando, tremolo and others. The piece is ideally suited both for lessons and for concert performances. Performers and listeners are going to enjoy it.

Garth Knox is one of the most prolific violists of his generation, and as a former member of the Arditti Quartet for years, he has developed his love of contemporary music. He now gives concerts and organizes workshops all over the world. Following his highly successful Viola Spaces, he has now released the Violin Spaces, concert etudes for violin, which bring advanced playing techniques to advanced players. The pieces - or â??spacesâ? - give each of them a space for specific techniques, such as the flageolette, pizzicato technique (with 10 fingers!) Or glissando variants. The Violin Spaces are dedicated to the violinist Diamanda Dramm, who worked closely with the composer during the development of the pieces.
