Christoph Willibald Gluck

To students and teachers of the viola, it been apparent that there is a need for a collection of pieces geared to the requirements of the beginning player. Most available pieces for such players are either too difficult technically or too superficial musically. In this collection, therefore, I have sought to put the player who is still limited to the first position, into direct contact with music a wide range of content and styles, going from the treasures of our national folk songs and household melodies to the great classic tradition, to a nineteenth century master like Tchaikowsky, up tp s contemporary composition written especially for this class performer.
