Viola sheet music at a glance

Viola sheet music at a glance

Comparatively to the violin sheet music the number of viola sheet music looks modest. Nevertheless in the categories of viola sheet music there are viola concerts or viola sonatas as extensive as the viola studies or rather the viola educational and the most important viola student music. In chamber music at the string quartet or string quintet the viola is as well represented like in the piano quartet or –quintet. Here, the viola sheet music is a part of the higher ensemble. 

Which viola educational is recommendable?

The student literature of viola sheet music is led by the viola educational by Bruce-Weber: Die fröhliche Viola, others by the viola educational by Holzer-Rhomberg and Saßmannshaus. The viola educational by Vollmer is a reference work. The extensive viola sheet music by Sevcik and the Suzuki Viola School are as well very recommendable.

Viola studies by comparison

As valuable viola studies, like at violin sheet music, there are especially the works by Kreutzer, Dancla, Dont, Mazas, Schradieck and Wohlfahrt to name, which form the base at the viola sheet music for every viola concert or demanding sonatas for viola and piano e.g. by Brahms or Schostakowitsch.
