Description
Trott - Melodious Double-Stops Book 1 for Viola
Josephine Trott's Melodious Double-Stops Book 1, transcribed for viola by Jane Daniel, adapts one of the best-known double-stop study collections for viola players. The exercises are designed to develop secure intonation, left-hand balance and confidence playing two notes together.
Develop Double-Stopping with Musical Studies
Rather than treating double-stops as isolated drills, Trott's studies use melodic material to build coordination and tuning in a more musical context. This viola transcription preserves the progressive character of the original violin studies while adapting them for the viola.
