Product Description
With lots of free time during the summer, I decided to write my very first piece for solo viola. Of course, everyone said to me, "Look at Paul Hindemith's Sonata for solo viola." I did and found a number of performances on Youtube. But I was rather disappointed that it was very harsh and and quite an unpleasant piece of music. LOL! Thanks to YouTube, next to the Hindemith video I saw that Max Reger also wrote a solo viola work: Drei Suiten für Bratsche allein. I watched a video performance of it on YouTUbe by Nobuko Imai and fell in love with it. It is a beautiful work in twelve parts, with many passages that reminded me of Bach, which is always a good sign!!!
With that inspiration from Reger, I modeled my "Bratsche Suite für Max Reger" after the usual baroque suite of seven movements: Fantasia, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Bourrée, Double and Gigue.
- Fantasia
- Allemande, TRIO
- Courante
- Sarabande
- Bourrée, TRIO
- Double
- Gigue
Enjoy!
