Summary of This Score

Sonata
for the large viola and orchestra
Critical edition with practical notes by Paul Silverthorne

This score offers a sonata for viola (large viola) and orchestra presented with a focus on musical rigor and rehearsal efficiency. Designed as a critical edition, it emphasizes a carefully prepared text and reliable reading, while remaining directly usable by the instrumentalist and ensemble partners.

The practical notes written by Paul Silverthorne provide concrete insights for approaching the work: technical points of attention, musical construction logic, and useful references to stabilize intonation, projection, and balance with the orchestra. This type of editorial support is particularly valuable for the violist preparing a performance with an ensemble, where anticipating entrances, musical breaths, and the flow of the discourse saves considerable time.

Intended for conservatory musicians as well as professionals, this sonata allows working on a full range of skills: solo sound, articulation, legato continuity, management of contrasts, and sense of dialogue with the orchestra. It is also an excellent option for developing a structured interpretation, moving from secure sight-reading to a more personal stylistic construction.

Thanks to its "critical + practical" approach, this edition naturally fits into a pursuit of quality: a viola score designed to be studied in depth, rehearsed efficiently, and performed on stage with confidence.
