Synopsis

Solos For Strings - Viola Solo by Harvey S. Whistler is a collection of classical and traditional repertoire arranged for viola with piano accompaniment. This volume brings together orchestral themes, operatic melodies, lyrical character pieces, and folk-inspired selections in a format designed for viola performance, recital preparation, private study, and repertoire expansion. The arrangements preserve the recognizable character of the original works while adapting them effectively for viola.

The collection features music associated with Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Wagner, Liszt, Offenbach, Foster, and other notable composers, offering a varied selection of expressive repertoire with piano accompaniment. Included works range from lyrical melodies and waltzes to orchestral excerpts and traditional favorites, giving viola players exposure to contrasting musical styles and moods. The arrangements support phrasing, tone production, articulation, and ensemble awareness in both lesson and performance settings.

This edition includes viola solo notation with piano accompaniment in a practical performance-ready format. Its concise collection of familiar melodies makes it a useful addition to studio libraries, school music programs, recital preparation, ensemble study, and personal music collections. Teachers, performers, and viola players will appreciate the balance of recognizable repertoire and expressive arrangements that fit easily into practice and performance routines.
