Bartok's Viola Concerto by Donald Maurice
This book tells the intriguing story of Bela Bartok's Viola Concerto, a work left unfinished at his death in 1945. Drawing on interviews and documents that reveal previously unavailable information, it discuesses the commission, the reconstruction by Tibor Serly, events leading up to the premiere, its reception over the second half of the twentieth century, the revisions, and future possibilities.
Maurice not only presents us with a very clearly documented account of this important work, but evokes warm, human glimpses of all the protagonists.. This fascinating book will stir violists from their habitual mindset and encourage them to look at this canon of their repertoire with new eyes. * Mary Nemet, Stringendo *
Donald Maurice wrote one of the major revisions of the Bartok viola concerto. He is Professor of Music at the New Zealand School of Music, violist with the New Zealand Piano Quartet, and treasurer of the International Viola Society.
