Piano accompaniment backing tracks
Henri Casadesus published this viola concerto in 1924, although it was originally attributed to Handel. While not as widely played as his 'Bach' concerto, it has found a place as a useful work to study.
These piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you listen to the piano part for this work. Please scroll down for samples and details of each movement.
This practice version slows down the quicker sections of the 'performance' track above, by around 15-20%. It is included for free with that version if selected.
