Advanced Viola (Grades 7–8)

Welcome to our Advanced Viola Repertoire, crafted for accomplished players at ABRSM Grades 7–8 (equivalent to US Grade 5 or Suzuki Viola Books 6–8). At this level, you're performing works that appear on professional recital programs, conservatoire auditions, and international competitions. The concertos in this collection celebrate the viola's unique voice whilst demanding the technical mastery and musical maturity that distinguish advanced from intermediate playing.

Violists at this level command near-professional facility. Repertoire in this collection features extensive position work across the full range of the instrument, comfortable navigation of both alto and treble clefs, and fluent technique in the viola's challenging upper register. Students encounter all key signatures, complex harmonic language, and sophisticated musical structures. Technically, these works demand advanced bow control producing the viola's characteristic warm tone, refined vibrato that serves musical expression, rapid string crossings, and the stamina required for extended passages in higher positions. Musical demands are equally substantial—advanced players must understand period style conventions, make informed interpretive choices, and command the dynamic range and tonal variety that bring music to life.

These advanced viola works represent significant artistic statements. They're substantial works that require dedicated practice, musical sophistication, and the ability to project the viola's voice with confidence and authority. These pieces are ideal for conservatoire auditions where viola majors must demonstrate technical and musical excellence, diploma examinations (DipABRSM, ATCL), and competition performances at regional and national levels. They help violists develop the artistry required for professional-level performance.

Our collection includes treasured works from the viola repertoire canon—concertos by Telemann, Stamitz, and Hoffmeister that showcase the instrument's distinctive character, carefully arranged movements from cello and violin literature transposed to honor the viola's unique voice, and Romantic pieces that explore the instrument's lyrical capabilities. Each arrangement balances fidelity to the original with practical performance considerations for string orchestra accompaniment.

Whether you're preparing for a major audition, diploma examination, or competition, or seeking repertoire that challenges you at the highest student level, you'll find professional arrangements that demand excellence whilst celebrating the viola's distinctive voice. All scores are instant PDF downloads with full string orchestra parts included. No performance licence required. Explore our advanced viola collection and perform the repertoire that defines viola artistry.
