Product Description
This work explores free performance and extended technique in the first movement, titled "Fog". It takes advantages of many different sounds and colors that the viola can produce. The second movement is a repetitive and serene movement, titled "Meditation". The third movement, titled "Supersonic", surges on after opening with an intense pizzicato on all four strings.
Hailed by David Conte as "rewarding for players and audiences", The City Muses On is a great addition to any recital as an exciting and impressive addition to the repertoire.
