Le Beau Sonate Opus 17

for viola and piano

Transcribed and edited by Susan Pickett 

Hildegard Publishing presents a transcription for viola of Luise Adolpha Le Beau's Sonate, Op. 17, originally written for cello and piano (494-02850). Written in formal classical style, this lovely sonata gives way to soaring, romantic impulses and stark key changes, supported by a driving piano accompaniment. The piano accompaniment is a reprint of the impressively accurate 1878 edition, and the viola part is newly engraved and transposed from the cello part, with discrepancies reconciled by the editor. For advanced players.
