Abstract Details

2009, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Viola.
The modern violist has a great selection of recently-composed repertoire to choose from when selecting works for a concert. The challenge arises when we want showpieces from the late Romantic and early 20th Century to display the vast range of the instrument. What we are missing in viola literature are transcriptions of works by Eugène Ysaÿe. I will conduct research on original and transcribed solo viola literature for the concert stage that has greatly influenced the repertoire of the violist. This includes solo works such as the Six Suites for Violoncello Solo and the Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo by J. S. Bach, as well as the 24 Caprices for Violin by Paganini. These three works have been successfully transcribed for the viola and are regularly used for programming on recitals and concerts. I will then discuss the thought process and approach used in transcribing a work from the cello to the viola. This information will be applied directly to the process I will take in transcribing the Sonata for Violoncello Solo Op. 28 for viola. This will conclude with a complete transcription of Ysaÿe's Sonata for Violoncello Solo Op. 28 for the viola.
