Rieding Op. 36 for Viola
This transcription adapts the solo part to the distinctive voice of the viola. The arrangement preserves the musical character of the original concerto. At the same time, it considers the rich and resonant sound of the viola.
Viola and Piano Edition
The edition includes the piano accompaniment together with the complete solo viola part. The piano creates a supportive dialogue with the solo instrument. This makes the arrangement suitable for lessons, individual practice, recitals, and student performances.

Rieding originally composed this concerto for violin. This version allows violists to study and perform the work on their own instrument. The transcription retains the expressive qualities of the original while giving the viola a distinctive musical character.

Rieding Op. 36 Viola is a valuable addition to the repertoire of developing violists. The concerto combines lyrical passages with technical challenges. It also provides opportunities to develop intonation, articulation, musical expression, and coordination with a pianist.
About the Edition
This edition was carefully transcribed for viola and piano by Amir Hossein Taei. The aim is to preserve the charm and expressiveness of Rieding’s original work while creating a practical version for violists.
I hope this transcription inspires violists to explore the expressive possibilities of their instrument and enjoy Rieding’s music from a new perspective.
