A great piece for Solo Viola based on Albeniz' famous Asturias. Actually less difficult to play than you may think !
| Title | Asturias, from Spanish Suite |
| Composer | Isaac Albeniz |
| Arranger | Patrick Loiseleur |
| Reference | TPR-0017 |
| Opus number | Op 47 n°1 |
| Instrumentation | Solo Viola |
| Synopsis | Originally written for solo piano, this piece has also been arranged for guitar by Tarrega, and for symphonic orchestra. The piano gesture of alternating between left hand and right hand is replaced by quickly alternating between two strings. While keeping the original G minor tonality, this arrangement makes great use of open strings, pizzicati, harmonics, double stops and other instrumental gestures that are typical for the stringed instruments. |
