repertoire worrh more attention. The works are worthy of the con id erarion of both violists and cellists. - D1: Claudine Bigelow is head of viola studies and chamber music comdi11ator at the Brigham Young University Schoof ofMusic. in May 2005, she was the host chair for the Prhm·ose Competition and FestivaL.
