9 jazzy pieces for viola and piano in 2nd, 4rd and 4th positions. One of the features of the pieces is the use of finger patterns which repeat on different strings and/or in different positions. Techniques of learning positions have therefore been incorporated into the musical language of the pieces. In the words of Edward Huws Jones, "Primarily, these are pieces which young viola players will want to play -- and which also happen to be in positions other than first. So no more position blues!"
