Brahms - Sonata for Violin and Piano Op. 108 Transcribed for Viola [Pet:9790900153302]

Brahms Sonata Op. 108 for Violin and Piano, transcribed for Viola by Andre J. Roy

Format: Softcover

Viola and Piano 

André J. Roy’s transcription of Brahms’s third violin sonata, rather than simply transposing the key of the piece down a fifth, instead accommodates the range of the viola through discreet octave displacements, much as Brahms himself did when transcribing his clarinet sonatas. Roy’s canny markings make practical and musical sense of the solo part in its new register.
