Fiddling For Viola
Book -
Traditional Irish & American Fiddle
Tunes Arranged for Viola - $11.95
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.
