Book Description
Johannes Brahms was one of the first composers to appreciate fully the viola2s potential, allowing the instrument a chance to shine in his chamber music. Although Brahms2 Two Sonatas in f-minor and E-flat major, Op. 120, were originally written for clarinet and piano, they are also greatly loved in the viola repertoire. Upon examination of the clarinet and viola versions of the sonatas, Brahms seems to have been keenly aware of the potential of each instrument. He intentionally sought different effects for these two instruments by composing two different versions. Each version is different not only with regard to its tone color or timbre, but also regarding practical techniques, such as vibrato, lip pressure, leap shifting, volume, and range. In my document, I will observe the differences between the clarinet and the viola versions, especially focusing on the unique characteristics of the each instrument. Then I will investigate why Brahms made such alterations for the viola, and I will also discuss how and why identical passages can sound and be expressed differently according to the instrument. In the first part of my document, I will provide a short historical background of the Op. 120 sonatas. I will also identify some of the composer2s musical idiosyncrasies, concentrating especially on his chamber music and his high regard for the role of the clarinet and the viola in these works. Secondly, I will compare the clarinet and viola versions of these sonatas and point out the possible reasons for the differences between these versions. Finally, the third part will focus on how identical passages can be heard and expressed differently according to each instrument.

Book Description
Johannes Brahms never procured a concerto for viola or clarinet. Curious minds yearn to know what one might sound like if he had. The closest approximation of such a piece is Brahms's Opus 120 sonatas for clarinet/viola and piano. A daring arranger with a keen knowledge about Brahmsian style might be able to orchestrate the piano part of the sonatas thus rendering a type of concerto. The Los Angeles Philharmonic commissioned Luciano Berio to do just that. Berio's style of composition distinguishes him as a great proponent of collage technique, and his orchestration of Johannes Brahms's Op. 120 No. 1 Sonata in F Minor for Clarinet or Viola resides in a comfortable middle ground between Brahmsian authenticity and personal creative liberty. Analysis of Brahms's style of texture and orchestration reveals key challenges Berio likely encountered during the arranging process and allows us to judge the quality of his solutions. All of this information should be of utmost importance to prospective performers of this nearly forgotten arrangement and to the scholarly community of both Berio and Brahms.

Book Description
Notes for Violists: A Guide to the Repertoire offers historical and analytical information about thirty-five of the best-known pieces for the instrument, making it an essential resource for professional, amateur, and student violists alike. With engaging prose supported by fact-filled analytical charts, the book offers rich biographical information and insightful analyses that help violists gain a more complete understanding of pieces like Béla Bartók's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, Rebecca Clarke's Sonata for Viola and Piano, Robert Schumann's Märchenbilder for Viola and Piano, op. 113, Carl Stamitz's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra in D Major, Igor Stravinsky's Élégie for Viola or Violin Unaccompanied, and thirty other masterpieces. This comprehensive guide to key pieces from the viola repertoire from the eighteenth through the twentieth century covers concertos, chamber pieces, and works for solo viola by a wide range of composers, including Bach, Telemann, Mozart, Hoffmeister, Walton, and Hindemith. Author David M. Bynog not only offers clear structural analyses of these compositions but also situates them in their historical contexts as he highlights crucial biographical information on composers and explores the circumstances of the development and performance of each work. By connecting performance studies with scholarship, this indispensable handbook for students and professionals allows readers to gain a more complete picture of each work and encourages them to approach other compositions in a similarly analytical manner.
