Here’s a work that’s essentially fresh off the press for Solo viola (or violin). \u00a0The story behind this one; my friend Holly Nelson asked me to write a work for solo violin for her recital\/contemporary requirement for grad auditions. \u00a0Needing to generate material quickly, I wrote her a violin piece, but on my instrument (viola). \u00a0So it’s really a viola piece, but it can be played on violin. I used material from works that I had written before but have not completed yet for the introduction and ending of the work (the lyrical lines over C [or G] drones). \u00a0There are two versions: For Viola, and For Violin. \u00a0The only difference is the transposition.<\/p>\n
