David Gyula - Viola concerto. You can download the PDF sheet music David Gyula - Viola concerto on this page. The Viola concerto by Gyula David, which dates from 1951, is almost classical in effect. The composer, who was born at Budapest in 1913, treats the solo part in a manner more essentially characteristic of the instrument than was the case in Bartok's Viola concerto - this is probably a result of the fact that David was an orchestral viola player himself before taking up his appointment as professor at the Budapest conservatorie.
David's Viola concerto is dedicated to Pal Lukacz. This soloist, who was born in 1919, won the first prize for viola playing at the International Musical Competition held at Geneva in 1948, and since 1946 he has been a professor at the Academy of Music in Budapest.

A viola concerto is a concerto contrasting a viola with another body of musical instruments such as an orchestra or chamber music ensemble. Early examples of viola concertos include Telemann's concerto in G major and several concertos by Carl Stamitz and other members of his family. The first concertante work to use the viola without caution was Mozart's violin and viola Sinfonia Concertante.
British violist Lionel Tertis is often credited with popularizing the viola as a solo instrument in the early 20th century through advocating for the composition of new pieces, as well as arranging works for the viola. A number of works were dedicated to Tertis including concertos by William Walton and York Bowen, and other concertante works such as Arnold Bax's Phantasy for Viola and Orchestra. Tertis also commissioned pieces such as Ralph Vaughan William's Flos Campi and Gustav Holst's Lyric Movement for Viola and Small Orchestra, in addition to transposing works for the viola such as Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto and Frederick Delius's Caprice and Elegy for cello and orchestra.[1]
William Primrose was also an important figure in establishing the role of the viola as a soloist, having a number of concertos dedicated to him by composers such as Quincy Porter and Darius Milhaud. He also commissioned works for the viola, the most famous of which being Béla Bartók's Viola Concerto.[2]
August 13, 2013 at 10:30 PM I teach violin privately, and occasionally have a viola student. I currently have a student who is going to be a senior in high school this year. He is looking to audition for viola performance at the college level. He is currently working on the Marchenbilder by Schumann, and the first Bach suite. I don't have as thorough of knowledge about the standard viola concerti as I do violin, so what would be considered an appropriate standard concerto to audition with at this level?
August 14, 2013 at 02:12 PM Check out some cello concertos. You can get ones like Elgar on Virtual Sheet Music. My favorite is the Forsyth viola concerto. It is not quite as difficult as Walton, but will take some work.
August 31, 2013 at 12:54 PM Nobody mentioned my favorite sonatas, Schubert Arpeggione and Glinka Sonata. They are as meaty as a concerto movement, but probably check if acceptable at schools you want to audition for. I, too, am a violinist teaching advanced viola students. If any of mine decided to head to music school, I'd get them to a "name" violist. I'm near a couple major universities, conservatories. 2ff7e9595c
