Piano accompaniment backing tracks
William Walton composed his celebrated Viola Concerto in 1929, and notably the premiere saw the composer Paul Hindemith playing as soloist. The work is a cornerstone of the viola repertoire, and the first movement in particular is often used as an audition piece.
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.
