“A concerto experience” — now playable by string orchestras everywhere.
Hans Sitt’s Viola Concerto, Op. 68 sits in that valuable space between advanced study and real concert repertoire: substantial in scale, technically demanding, and written with a deep understanding of the instrument’s singing voice. This edition is designed for violists preparing diploma work or professional performance, and for directors looking to programme something with genuine musical weight.
This arrangement takes Sitt’s original orchestral score and re‑casts it for string orchestra, opening the door for school, youth, and community ensembles to perform the work without needing a full symphonic line‑up. The result is a rich, supportive accompaniment that keeps the concerto’s character intact, while making rehearsal planning far more practical.
