In Reply to: Interesting week - my first experience with the Martinu Viola Concerto posted by Chris from Lafayette on June 18, 2016 at 17:41:34:
Martinu's music looks pretty easy at first blush, but is often a real pain in the a$$ to sightread. You are a real trooper. Not surprisingly given his large chamber music output, Martinu did write a sonata for viola and piano, which likely would have been easier for you to deal with than a piano reduction of the concerto. It seems pretty unreasonable for them to require her to submit a concerto performance, but maybe that limits submissions to the most serious and motivated.
