Course contents
Learning objectives:
Orchestral Parts and Solos for Viola 2 is directly related to the course Playing in the Orchestra. The aim of the course is individual preparation of viola parts, especially in terms of bowing and fingering, and development of agile orientation when playing from the page. Its focus broadens the student's spectrum of knowledge and skills to include those that condition his/her possible future employment as a soloist and orchestral player. Emphasis is placed on the flexibility of technical mastery of compositions in the shortest possible time and mastery of the manner of playing in a symphony orchestra, instrumental and interpretative mastery of works of the orchestral repertoire, and careful acceptance of the teacher's comments. This develops, over a longer period of time, the technique and quality of the performance of the piece, contributing to the quality of the student's presentation in the course Playing in the Orchestra.
Thematic areas:
- Orchestral parts and viola solos of the Classical, Romantic and 20th century periods.
- expressing the content and meaning of the interpreted work
- complementing and deepening instrumental skills acquired at the secondary level
