Wohlfahrt Foundation Studies for Viola Book 1 (Fischer)

This new edition of the Wohlfahrt Etudes is a masterclass in book form by acclaimed soloist Rachel Barton Pine . She discusses dynamics, augments Wohlfahrt’s own bowing suggestions with her own, and provides solid advice for approach to the Etudes. With all of this, the book includes a DVD with performances of all Etudes by Matthew Lipman and MP3 tracks for study. Not just a new edition, Pine’s approach to Wohlfahrt is holistic guidance to ensure the best possible use of this standard pedagogical foundation.
