The music of Fidelis Zitterbart is unfortunately quite unknown. But he has written quite a lot for the viola. The violist Carl Smith has put together a program with «American Lullabies». One of them is the Berceuse in F major by Zitterbart. The harmonies are somewhat exotic. Unfortunately, there is only one handwritten score on IMSLP, which is a little impractical for a performance. Smith has written it out - with a separate viola part.
