Abstract: Cecil Forsyth’s (1870-1941) Viola Concerto in G-minor is an important work in the viola repertoire. The concerto is one of the only concerti written for viola during the Romantic period. This piece is a great example of how a soloist's technical abilities can be highlighted while being adequately supported by the orchestration. The viola solo's idiomatic writing lets the player explore the instrument's full range, highlighting its rich and nuanced sound. The orchestration is designed to complement the soloist's performance without overshadowing it. In the solo sections, the orchestration is light and gentle, during the several tutti sections, the orchestra can present loud and unstable harmonies and progressions or travel through many relative keys. The work incorporates several elements that are characteristic of late-Romantic music, such as the use of tonal pairing to create a melody that functions in multiple keys. Mediant relationships are prevalent throughout the work to create smooth key changes, which help the piece remain modulatory yet stable in the main themes. In unstable sections, enharmonic equivalents and Ger+6 chords signify key arrival points in the music.
