Riassunto

Tells the intriguing story of Béla Bartók's Viola Concerto, a work left unfinished at his death in 1945. Drawing on interviews and documents that reveal previously unavailable information, it discusses the commission, the reconstruction by Tibór Sérly, events leading up to the premiere, its reception over the second half of the twentieth century, the revisions, and future possibilities.

Recensione:

Maurice not only presents us with a very clearly documented account of this important work, but evokes warm, human glimpses of all the protagonists ... This fascinating book will stir violists from their habitual mindset and encourage them to look at this canon of their repertoire with new eyes. (Mary Nemet, Stringendo)
