Diverse, exciting, demanding. This is probably the best way to describe Aleksey Igudesman's 11 solo pieces for viola.
VIOLAMANIA – the title says it all!
Igudesman has gifted 11 of his viola-playing friends a personalised solo piece for their instrument and, in doing so, enriched the solo repertoire for violists everywhere. These challenging, unaccompanied pieces are ideal for concert, especially as encores. They are often humorous, but deserve to be taken seriously. Some are simple and melodic, some are highly virtuosic.
There is something for every concert violist; recitals and auditions will never be the same again!
