Haydn to Humperdinck, show tunes to spirituals – variety is the spice of musical life and the essence of First Repertoire for Viola. These three books (all of which are available from Waltons) include over 60 carefully graded elementary pieces with piano accompaniments that skilfully explore the viola's unique sonorities and provide superb introductory literature for the budding player.
