Discover your inner fiddler! Liven up your viola practice, bring joy to those around you, and captivate your audience with these enchanting fantasias on folk and fiddle tunes. From toe-tappingly energetic to exquisitely beautiful, these unaccompanied viola solos weave melodies with lyrical supporting notes that enhance and imply harmony. This book is not intended to be a collection of straight fiddle tunes, of which there are many. Instead, these arrangements creatively embellish the notes of the folk and fiddle tunes so that you can create a beautiful sound for a background gig or audience. These viola fiddle solos are in first position and are set at an early-intermediate level. Please note: the book is intended to be played alone; there is no accompaniment and the book is not compatible with the books of arrangements for other instruments. This book could be followed by Flying Solo Viola, Book Two.
