Martin Amlin - Magic Maze for Viola and Piano  Theodore Presser Company.  Is the perfect title for this 8 minute adventure for viola and piano.  Cycling through a form loosely inspired by numerical "magic square," the work is a chain of variations on a 12 note series built of perfect fourths and minor thirds.  Miniature versions of various characters - march, canon, barcarolle, toccata, bolero, and sarabande - weave their way through the continuous labyrinth, all based on symmetrical patterns of pitch and rhythm that continually develop and return.

Chen Yi Memory for solo Viola

Viola Music for solo Viola
Composed for th Swedish virtuoso Kim Hellgren, Clint Needham's 9-minute VIOLA MUSIC is a dramatically-paced powerhouse in three movements. The opening Perpetual Motion and Cadenza is a dazzling ride, full of idiomatically-voiced double stops culminating in a free recitative. The following Song is beautifully plaintive, with a frisky episode in the middle, and final Scherzo is a frenetic dance developed from where the opening movement left off, and wildly driving to a fiery coda.

Torque for Viola and Piano - Stacy Garrop.  This tour de force consists of two movements that are complete opposites.  Movement I, titled Momentum, starts with the viola and piano aggressively sharing a single note.  Things start swirling out of control: the music gains greater and greater tension as the musicians turn and twist their way into ever smaller spirals, right up to the end of the movement.  Movement II, titled Stasis, offers a peaceful, gentle unwinding of the pressure.  Torque was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for violist Viacheslav Dinerchtein.

Twenty Traditional Wedding solos for Viola and Piano.

The two-movement Vapors was composed in 2008-09, inspired by the composer's visit to artist Constance DeJong's studio. Leisner was moved by her large two-paneled Nitrate Painting XVI, and he has written: "You can feel enveloped by it and meditatively immersed in its cloudy or watery atmosphere, depending on how you see it. The more I looked at it, the more it gave me a smilar feeling to watching a snowfall in which the snowflakes appear to be falling and rising at the same time."
