Viola Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1026052 Composed by Thomas Marples. Contemporary. Individual part. 6 pages. Thomas Marples #5775783. Published by Thomas Marples (A0.1026052). Viola part only - This piano trio performs as a dramatic battle between the Violist and Cellist to have the last word, or in this case, the last note, and win the overall piece. The exciting and fast-paced musical dialogue between the two players is interrupted by a series of expressive but furious cadenzas, which builds to a series of unsuspecting climaxes.Thoughts from the composer - I found it a great challenge to build up and explore the narrative of the piece musically, but ultimately a rewarding one, especially in concert, where the true theatricality of the Duel can be brought to life..
