Flying Solo Viola, Unaccompanied Folk and Fiddle Fantasias for Playing Your Viola Anywhere, Book One

Discover your inner fiddler! Liven up your viola practice, bring joy to those around you, and captivate your audience with these enchanting fantasias on folk and fiddle tunes. From toe-tappingly energetic to exquisitely beautiful, these unaccompanied viola solos weave melodies with lyrical supporting notes that enhance and imply harmony. This book is not intended to be a collection of straight fiddle tunes, of which there are many. Instead, these arrangements creatively embellish the notes of the folk and fiddle tunes so that you can create a beautiful sound for a background gig or audience. These viola fiddle solos are in first position and are set at an early-intermediate level. Please note: the book is intended to be played alone; there is no accompaniment and the book is not compatible with the books of arrangements for other instruments. This book could be followed by Flying Solo Viola, Book Two.
