Danse Macabre for Viola and Piano - PDF Download

Add a touch of mystery and drama to your music-making with this expressive arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre for viola and piano!

This edition includes two complete versions of the piece—Intermediate I (early-intermediate) and Intermediate II (late-intermediate)—so you can choose the version that best fits your level or your students’ needs.

🎻 Intermediate I Version:
Stays entirely in first position, focusing on low and high second fingers, high third fingers, and some low first and fourth fingers. It’s an excellent way to strengthen essential finger patterns in a darkly atmospheric setting.

🎻 Intermediate II Version:
Adds expressive embellishments and introduces fourth position while keeping the same familiar finger patterns for a smooth technical progression.

🎹 Piano Accompaniment:
Rich and full without being difficult—Cassia was able to sight-read it easily (and she’s not a trained pianist!).

Whether you’re a teacher looking for a dramatic recital piece or an adult player eager to explore a favorite classic, Danse Macabre invites expressive playing and musical storytelling at every level.

All Danse Macabre arrangements are in the same key and can even be performed together as multi-instrument group solos for violin, viola, or cello.

Parts: 2 pages for each part, Score: 4 pages for each part
