              VIOLA SHEET MUSIC CD 6600 pages

--I dedicate this collection to my wife, who tolerated the countless hours it took -- including the more than 30 years
of library visits and the 3 years of working with scanning and imaging software--to finish this collection.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS VIOLA SHEET MUSIC COLLECTION?

SAMPLES of typical pages from the cd.  PIECES ARRANGED in a logical sequence of folders for
quick search by instrumentation.  SEARCHABLE LISTS--go here for an easy to read version of the
'big list' on this page.  UNPRETENTIOUS listings--for example, the Kreutzer 42 Etudes is one listing,
not 42 listings! PIECES SELECTED that meet the modern viola's range--that's why no music is here
of Buxtehude, who wrote for the viola da gamba with its greater range.)  ALL PIECES HAVE ALL
PARTS required for  performance--with just a few unavoidable exceptions.  What took so much time:
Every page, after being scanned or extracted, was STRAIGHTENED, CLEANED, CENTERED,
LETTER-SIZED, and paginated for greatest ease of page-turning and for best 2-sided printing. 
Finally, no stamping of pages with false claims of ownership, and no "secured" pdf files!

UNIQUE TO MY COLLECTION:  At least 32 performing editions & original arrangements--because
they were created by me, John D. Howard (see list).  Among these are the classic study concertos of
Rieding Op. 35 (1st edition for viola?) and Seitz (No. 2) which have been newly typeset by JDH. AND,
 for these 32, he relinquishes any copyright claim and offers them to everyone for fair use.

NB:  Regarding copyright issues, the status of almost all pieces on this cd is clear: they are in the public domain in the
United States.  For the few pieces that are uncertain in this regard, the seller (JDH) invites the publishers thereof to
inform him of their claims, and I (JDH) will take appropriate action.  For those few pieces that may not be public domain
outside the U. S., the buyer assumes responsibility for using these digital files in his/her country. 

SUMMARY OF THIS VIOLA CD'S CONTENTS:   More than 215 studies for viola; over 50 pieces
for viola & piano;  30 sonatas or suites for va & pf;  20 concertos;  36 viola duets;  56 duets for viola
and violin;  9 duets for viola and cello;  26 string trios (vn va vc) and over 70 other pieces for 'vn va vc';
24 other trios without keyboard;  16 trios with kbd; 15 quartets (no string quartets); 35 other pieces (3 with voice). 

A fair number of SHORT pieces (for example the renaissance 3-voice or the Bach 2-voice keyboard pieces)
do not specify viola, but may be played on viola to good effect, and give the violist/teacher a bonanza
of easier chamber music.  Helpful will be the ability to read easy material in bass clef and treble "octave-below" clef.
