Viola bibliography

Nearly every book has its own bibliography and also some websites, so here it is the viola bibliography. I am a fan of bibliographies, and I find them very useful but …

What is a bibliography? To me it is a sort of map to go back to the source of a river, in our case, a river of information. It’s also like clicking on a page link on Internet (only it takes a bit longer), you go somewhere else which is related in some way, but you may end up with discovering a completely new world!

So, if you’d like to read more about the viola and composersand music in general, here is a list of some of the material I consulted or mentioned in this website. I’ll be adding more things now and then. You can find a lot more information on CD/LP sleeves, sheet music prefaces, concert programmes, museum descriptions… I’d dare to say… almost everywhere.

I’ve sorted these books by title (excluding the article), which I think says something to everybody, more than the author’s name. This is the formatting for this viola bibliography list:
Title, Author, Publisher.

I wish you to find some useful information. I think you can find many of these books in public libraries and music/book stores. Otherwise, you can click one of the titles you like, to go to a worldwide shop.
