By Jean Sibelius

The heading says parts, all I got was a score. Very disappointed

I expected little more... it has no separated parts, uncomfortable page turning...

It is a composer's early work. A pleasant and beautiful melody makes the listeners enchanting. The violin part is easy enough to play on the first look. On the other hand, the viola part who receives the accompaniment is more difficult than imagined. Detailed explanation about this work is...

published. This music can know some performances on YouTube.

I guess this is the only way that this is published. Since there are so many pages and the viola part is so busy, It would be nice to have the violin and the viola part broken out to minimize page turns. As it is, I have to do the...

old, "make a copy, cut out the parts, tape them on another sheet of paper, and then recopy." Would have been nice to have separate parts with the score. Oh well. It is Sibelius.

A beautiful romantic piece of music for a rather unusual combination of instruments. Problem is the difference in difficulty, the viola part is much more challenging. The lay-out is another issue: the music itself does not make pageturning very easy because of almost complete absence of rest. Separate scores...

might solve this problem.
