Tower - Wild Purple for Solo Viola Published by Hal Leonard

"Contemporary American composer Joan Tower states, I never thought of the viola as being particularly wild. So I decided to try and see if I could create a piece that had wild energy in it and meet the challenge of creating a virtuosic piece for solo viola. Joan definitely succeeded on both counts. Written for the famous American violist Paul Neubauer, this piece spans the gamut of complex left hand and right hand techniques." - Jesse Calcat, Shar Apprentice
