Sitt Viola Concerto Op. 68 for Viola and Orchestra

Sitt: Viola Concerto, Op. 68 (New Edition) — Viola and Orchestra

Hans Sitt's Viola Concerto, Op. 68 is a substantial work that sits well at the advanced to Diploma end of the student-to-professional range. The writing combines confident Romantic lyricism with passages that demand secure shifting, control of tone colour, and a clear sense of line across longer spans. At around 18 minutes, it's a serious concerto that asks real things of the soloist.

This new MyMusicScores edition has been prepared from the original orchestral materials, with errors in the original parts corrected so that players can focus on music-making rather than problem-solving in the margins. The score and all parts have been laid out with practical page turns in mind, with sensible breaks that support flow in performance.
