Sitt Viola Konzertstuck Op. 46 for Viola and String Orchestra

Sitt: Konzertstück, Op. 46 (Arr. Viola & String Orchestra)

“A proper viola showpiece” - the original orchestral version, re-scored for strings.

Looking for a serious, full-scale concert work that lets a strong viola player perform at diploma / professional standard, without needing a full symphony orchestra? Hans Sitt’s Konzertstück, Op. 46 is exactly that kind of repertoire: expansive, confidently written for the instrument, and packed with the sort of projection, stamina, and musical authority that advanced players want to demonstrate on stage.

This edition is a string orchestra arrangement based directly on Sitt’s original orchestral score (not a piano reduction), retaining the character of the original whilst making it possible to programming without a full orchestra.

Whether you’re preparing a diploma recital, programming a feature for a conservatoire concert, or looking for a compelling centrepiece for an advanced soloist with a capable string orchestra, this arrangement keeps the work’s orchestral intent intact, while putting it into reach for many more performers.
