To complement the Sassmannshaus Early Start on the Viola method, Bärenreiter offer a selection of recital pieces tailored to this educational concept.  This edition presents 14 pieces covering a wide stylistic spectrum, giving viola players a rich body of appealing concert pieces to choose from.
The works are arranged in increasing order of difficulty, the cornerstones being two works by Georg Eduard Goltermann; his technically simple Andante religioso and his demanding Adagio and Tarantella. Works by Kalliwoda, Fauré, Grieg, Dvořák, amongst others, are included.
