Urtext. Composed by Josef Schelb. Solo instruments; stapled. Edition Breitkopf. Sonata; Early modern; Music post-1945. Score. Composed 1959. 52 pages. Duration 23'. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 8992. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-8992).
ISBN 9790004187210. 9 x 12 inches.
PromisingWith his 2nd Viola Sonata from 1959, Josef Schelb (1894-1977) gave the viola a representative work with the potential for a significant concert career - despite the wealth of repertoire of this instrument, which has been popular from the Baroque to the present.Josef Schelb, an exponent of the 20th-century's so-called "classical modernism," knew how to use a wide range of the instrument's tonal possibilities for his typical, unmistakable personal style of those years, combining atonal-to-dodecaphonic structures with contrapuntal composing techniques. In the work's four movements, sharply contrasting in tempo and expression, the emotional tension ranges from a lyrical, contemplative inwardness via a humorous, dance-like ease to expressive, rhythmically intricate staccato formulas. Originality, compositional mastery, inventiveness, and high viola characterstics - coupled with a considerable demand of virtuosity - are features of this work, now available for the first time in a published edition. "What superb tonal balance, wit power, colour and finesse is in the score! The sonata could be programmed as a whole, and also some movements could very well stand alone in a recital program."(Helen Tuckey, AUSTA Stringendo).
