Gyula David Viola Concerto Imslp -

The definitive edition of the score was published by in 1952.

The finale is a romp. Written in 6/8 time, it bursts with the energy of a csárdás . Dávid introduces spiccato bowing, rapid string crossings, and playful syncopations. The technical difficulty peaks here, but it never becomes a mere etude; the folk dance character drives every note. It ends with a brilliant, ascending major scale that leaves both the audience and the soloist breathless. Gyula David Viola Concerto Imslp

In a world where violists often complain that "there is no repertoire," Dávid proves otherwise. This concerto is a masterclass in writing for the human voice via the viola. It respects the instrument's limitations (no ridiculous tenths, no exhausting high-register screaming) while celebrating its unique warmth. The definitive edition of the score was published by in 1952
