Viola and Piano

Any viola piece that incorporates a piano accompaniment usually results in the piano overpowering the viola. The piano tends to become another voice rather than an accompaniment.It is almost inevitable. An exceptional pianist can escape this problem. The two Brahms pieces are well worth study. The Hindemith pieces are excellent. Solo viola work requires a great deal from the performer.
