Knox Viola Spaces Vol.1 - Contemporary Viola Studies
녹스 비올라 스페이스 1집 현대 비올라 연습곡
Garth Knox is one of the most prominent violists of his generation, and as former long-time member of the Arditti Quartet he has developed and maintained a fondness of contemporary music. In the mean time, he gives concerts and teaches courses all over the world.
With `Viola Spaces` he wants to make contemporary playing techniques accessible to advanced players. The pieces, or `playing spaces`, are true concert studies, each of them dealing with specific techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato (with 9 fingers!) or tremolos which are explained in great detail.
Another volume with modern playing techniques for two violas and a volume with variations on a piece by the French viola da gamba master Marin Marais for four violas are planned.
