From the composer: “I wrote these six Cinematic Studies to combine two of my passions--viola and film music--and to fill a gap in the training options available to violists interested in working in the world of visual media. These pieces can stand on their own as technical etudes and unaccompanied concert pieces, and are also the solo parts for orchestrated cinematic cues, each of which will accompany a short film.  Eventually, performance recordings will be available for all six, allowing a violist to perform the works in concert to a click track, synched to the backing track and the accompanying film.”
