About this arrangement

Viola Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.722632 Composed by Various. Arranged by Randy Calistri-Yeh. Classical,Patriotic,Wedding. Individual part. 24 pages. Custom Chamber Music #6016919. Published by Custom Chamber Music (A0.722632). Here are 10 great pieces arranged for pure solo viola - no piano required! This collection has more than 40 minutes of classical and patriotic songs ideally suited for formal recitals, wedding celebrations, and background music gigs. These are not just lame copies of the melody line; they are all fully worked out arrangements designed to be as rich as possible and to highlight the viola. These are direct transcriptions of the original "Pure Cello" series, now available for viola. As a professional cellist, I originally arranged these pieces for my personal use, and I have performed every one of them in public.These are fairly challenging pieces; I would compare their difficulty to Bach Cello Suite #2 on the easy side and Bruch Cello Concerto on the harder side. But with some practice you will have some amazing additions to your solo repertoire.Each of the songs in this collection is also available separately at the publisher link above, but buying the full volume gives you a substantial discount.Volume 1 contains the following:1. Strauss Blue Danube Waltz2. Dvorak Goin' Home (Largo from "New World" Symphony #9)3. Schubert Ave Maria4. Faure Apres un reve5. Tchaikovsky Melodie6.
