Concerto for Viola: A New Work for Solo Viola and Orchestra with Analysis and Commentary
David O'Fallon · UKnowledge (University of Kentucky) · 2015
This project consists of a new work for solo viola with orchestra and includes an analysis of that work with commentary on the composer's stylistic traits and influences. The analysis comprises not only an examination of the formal and thematic elements of the work, but also an investigation into the problems of projection and balance that are inherent in a work of this type and how various composers have attempted to solve, or at least minimize, these problems.
