Product Description
Caprice started out as a totally different piece of music, as a song in fact. However, in this modified form in a different key, it works well as a short, easy solo for viola. This is a light piece without any technical difficulties, but the modest musical material will test your musicality. Its mainly about melody, not technical abilities. Spirited, lyrical, reflective those are the three moods the player needs to communicate, and always with a light touch. The first section, up to the key change, should be thought of as a song. That is followed by an "instrumental" interlude before the "song" returns at measure 72. At times there is a hint of Latin feeling in the piano accompaniment, which will require some sensitive playing to support that song-like concept. The repetition of the opening four notes in the solo part at the end should not be played loud they should be regarded as an afterthought. Likewise, the last note in the piano part should not be a weve-reached-the-end thump, instead played lightly, like an understatement.
A
playalong piano accompaniment is available for this solo on Sheet Music Plus.
