My First Playlist

Six Very Easy Pieces for Viola and Piano
by Austin Boothroyd (*1959)
Difficulty level: 1 - 3 (Easy)
Series: First Steps No. 1



This work finds its inspiration in the 1892 publication 'Easy Melodious Exercises in the First Position, for Violin with Pianoforte Accompaniment, by Edward Elgar, Op. 22.' 'My First Playlist, Six Easy Pieces for Viola and Piano' is a collection of new compositions for beginners on the viola. It is my hope that these new pieces will prove as useful and helpful as Elgar's original pieces.
