Vaughan Williams, Complete Viola Suite (Oxford)

Description

This work was inspired by Lionel Tertis who was the Viola soloist for a performance of Vaughan Williams’ Flos Campi in 1925. Tertis’ talent led the composer to write this Suite for him in 1934 which comprises eight short pieces. This edition features a Piano reduction of the original orchestral score.
