What an excellent piece, we looked at it in music theory class last year. It’s truly beautiful in it’s melodic sections, and keeps you on your toes with the faster sections. The first movement, Impetuoso, starts off quick and soft and mellows out into what I would describe as a foggy section. I think a good analogy would be the piano is a heavy mist and the viola is a light shining through, showing the way. The second movement vivace is faster and much lighter than the first movement, with sort of a bouncy feel. I does slow down and mellow out a little into warmer colors towards the end of the second movement however. The third movement is the longest of the three and starts slowly with a clear motif, and slowly gets faster. It has a very thin texture in the beginning, and as you move more towards the end it begins to thicken up a bit. Clarke brings the piece to a nice end with the main motif from Impetuoso resurfacing, and a rambunctious ending. 

Easily an 8.5/10, this piece is one of my favorites for a bowed string soloist. Not quite a 10 if only because some of the motifs, namely the second movement were a little melodically immature, and might not be appreciated by non-regular classical listeners.
