for unaccompanied viola transcribed by DAVID DALTON from Ten American Cello Etudes (385845-2) $8.95 Minsky's two sets of cello studies have been warmly welcomed by cellists. The fusion of classical technique with the idiom of American popular music took the cell into a familiar musical world in which it had been a stranger. David Dalton has transcribed three of the most suitable studies LIKE CRAZY TRUCKIN' THROUGH THE SOUTH THE FLAG WAVER -for viola. Now, as Minsky writes in his introduction, "Violists will also be encouraged to improvise, play chords and syncopation, and participate in popular music forms through the reinforcement and expansion of traditional techniques which I have tried to incorporate into these studies."
