Viola on Duracell

viola na duracell partitura.pdfThis was initially composed as a short virtuoso piece for viola in piano but was later orchestrated. It is eventually planned as one of the movements of potential Viola concerto but this has not been accomplished yet. The recording here keeps reminding me. :p

A fine work as always.  The viola is an underrated instrument that deserves more literature.  The one challenge that I encounter when writing for solo viola is that the orchestral forces can easily overwhelm the soloist and perhaps it is just the recording but I felt the same problem came up here. 

Excellent work for viola.  I agree with bkho regarding the balance issue.  At times the soloist is lost in the orchestration.
