Sugár, R.: Concertino

Edition for viola and piano, difficulty: advanced.
Frédérick Forti's transcription for viola from the original version of Rezső Sugar's violin concertino of 1961 works very well. A single movement, Allegro risoluto evokes Hungarian themes and there is plenty of scope to try exuberant rhythms, agile string string-crossing and varied bow-strokes as well as producing a rich singing tone.
A Grade 3 and upwards viola student will relish this attractive addition to the repertoire.
Format: 6+2 pages.
