20 Etudes brillantes

20 unaccompanied études by nineteenth-century French composer, virtuoso violinist and music teacher Charles Dancla, transcribed for viola by Reiner Schmidt.

With their diversity and range of expression, the twenty Etudes brillantes are excellently suited for working not only on technique but also artistic interpretation and performance. They have been transposed down a fifth for use on the viola to keep the techniques the same; fingering has however been adapted to modern usage and to the practicalities of the viola. Suitable for advanced violists.
