William Walton composed his Viola Concerto in 1928-9, and it was given its premiere at a Promenade Concert at Queen's Hall, London on 3rd October 1929. Riddle's edition was originally published with a Piano reduction of the first Orchestration in 1938, and it is this that forms that basis for the solo line in this edition. This present Piano reduction was made by Geoffrey Pratley and published in 1993. In printed sheet music format.
