Nedan följer en lista med musik för viola i 8 olika nivåer. Jag har följt det engelska systemet ABRSM och deras val av stycken för de olika nivåerna och kompletterat med egna stycken i samma svårighetsgrad. Flera av dessa stycken finns inspelade att lyssna på i spelaren till höger, enligt numreringen efter respektive stycke.
Du väljer naturligtvis själv vilken ordning du vill spela/ lära ut styckena. Till denna lista har jag gjort en kursplan med vad eleven behöver lära sig inom varje nivå, den berättar jag gärna om vid en inspirationsdag för viola.
Jag har spelat in musiken med pianisten Ingrid Misgeld. Gunnar Misgeld har skött inspelningarna, på Musikhögskolan i Örebro den 1/5 och 17/6-20 samt 17/3 och 5/6-21.
På Spotify finns mitt album Music for viola by female composers.
Martina Colli är en pianist som har spelat in pianostämman till flera av våra mest kända stycken. Här är en länk till hennes YouTube-sida.
Here you can see a list of viola music in 8 different levels. I have followed the English system ABRSM with their choice of pieces for the different levels and complemented with my own chosen pieces to suit that particular level. Many of these pieces are recorded and you can listen to them on the player to the right by following the numbering after every piece.
You choose of course in what order you would like to play or teach the pieces. I have written a syllabus to the list of pieces where one can read what the pupil needs to learn within every level. I would be delighted to present this on an inspiration day for the viola!
I recorded the music with the pianist Ingrid Misgeld and technician Gunnar Misgeld at the Music Conservatory, Örebro University 1/5, 17-20/6 2020 and 17/3, 5/6 2021.
You can find my album Music for viola by female composers on Spotify.
