Absurdly beautiful

This concerto is lovely... But very difficult... And the edition was excelent. My acompanist said that the orchestra transcription to piano was very good. I just wish the price tag was a little friendlier.

Superb Viola Concerto

Excellent piano reduction of the accompaniment. Well edited viola part. Very difficult concerto to play but rewarding for the work. Has a decided romantic character to it in spite of the chromatic nature of the writing.
