The original edition of this seminal work for the viola had been out of print for several years.

John White, in close consultation with the late Dr Watson Forbes, has re-edited these new editions of the works to provide modern-day viola players with one of the bedrock publications of good playing technique.

They retain the same basic material as the former OUP publications, but the new typesetting renders them much clearer to read and use.

Book 3 provides the link with Daily Exercises by developing the scales and arpeggios into a host of variant patterns, shifting onto higher positions, bowing and slurring variations etc.
