New Music for Solo Strings

Music for solo violin, viola, violoncello and double bass are a significant feature of the collected chamber music of Nigel Morgan. Represented in this Guide are examples of duo and solo compositions featuring all the members of the orchestral string family. These include three works for unaccompanied violin, solos for viola, cello and double bass together with a selection of pieces for these instruments with keyboard, including one for the unusual combination of viola and chamber organ.
