Product Description
Brandenburg
6 is a unique composition because of its original instrumentation (2 lead
violas + string orchestra), and because of the nature of the first movement- that
starts with a canon for the 2 violas playing the same line just one eighth note
apart!
Its fun to play, but hard to get
the needed players to make it happen. So
here is a reduction where the violist plays the first viola part, and a
keyboard does the second viola part plus a reduced version of the backing strings.
This piano reduction is meant to accompany a
violist playing the original first viola part.
If you want an excellent contemporary typesetting of the first viola
part, you can get it at the Free Scores
website-

PLAY ALONG MP3s
There are
mp3 files in the cloud which you can download and use to practice
with. They use the stereo capability to
have the soloist on one channel, and
the keyboard on the other. This way you
can tune out your part if you want, or
leave it in, at a volume of your choice.
The tempo of the playalong tracks can be adusted to your choice by using
readily available playback software for instance, Roni music-https://www.ronimusic.com/,
or even websites that do it for you online. Also,
even very inexpensive mp3 players in the under $20 range nowadays
provide playback with adjustable tempo.
The mp3 files
can be downloaded from-https://app.box.com/s/xpkqc7xpkhlixbf56tsahqu3tkt83gpo
xml files
are also available if you have a notation program and want to customize the
score or the sound files.
