Mel Bay Fiddling for Viola - Hoffheimer - Viola - Book

Traditional Irish and American Fiddle Tunes Arranged for Viola

Arranger: Michael Hoffheimer
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Viola
Level: Intermediate

Quite possibly the largest collection of fiddle music for viola ever published! Contains a wealth of material for fiddlers seeking a transition to the viola and/or violists in search of a collection of traditional fiddle music. Designed to meet the rising popularity of the viola's role in folk music, the tunes in this book are grouped into C, G, D, F, B-flat, and E-flat major fingering. The music in this book is printed on parallel staffs. The top is traditional viola notation in the alto clef while the bottom is the same music in transposing violin notation, allowing fiddlers who read the G or treble clef to play the viola by fingering it as if it were a fiddle.
