Mary Cohen’s Superstudies For Viola Book 1 is a collection of nineteen original, imaginative studies for solo viola, which have been specially designed for young players. Each piece concentrates on one or two aspects of technique, and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills, including spicatto bowing, string-crossing, moto perpetuo, cantabile and easy double-stopping. Teachers and pupils will find this invaluable, yet light-hearted, collection both enjoyable and stimulating.
