Bach Cello Suites for Viola

Time to get practicing on the viola again. Orchestra rehearsals start next week. I am totally uninspired to play Tchaikovsky's 5th and Schumann's Spring Symphony (and hoping that as we rehearse them they grow on me), so I have decided to start thinking about this fall's orchestra audition and what I'll chose to play as a solo piece.

The Bach Suites for Cello (transcribed for viola in this case) are what many would consider "Desert Island Music". So, I'm reading through them, and I think I will try the Gigue from the Suite #3 in C Major. It's got some good frog action and variety within the movement, and today it felt like a good enough challenge for me.

Yeah.
