A piece that truly brings out the strengths of the viola over the violin. Beautifully played. While the viola lacks the violin's sensitivity and nuances, it more than compensates in richness and depth.
@thekillers274 Same with me and my teacher i cant stand the happiness of the violin its too light but the cello was too dull the viola is the middle mark and has the rich sound of both together and is a very unknown instrument to the public
Wow I think ur amazing!! I don't think I'll ever play viola as well as you do!! I love the way you connect with the music like u follow the flow (if that makes any sense) =] amazing

She has a nice tone but she always plays like a pedantic schoolgirl who did her homework with the metronome. If she could only use her imagination. This is beauty to be created and you don't have to look so serious but try to enjoy yourself. Should be apparent that playing is a source of pleasure not only delivering a bunch of notes. Please spare me "if you play it better" crap because I do. I think her frequent appearance here is not justified by her merits. She's good but a bit soulless to me.
@carvindc400 Don't worry, I will. Just remember, a critic at a newspaper for example obviously can not play better the interpretation they write about yet nobody questions their right to write, so to speak. In an ideal world everybody has the right to air opinios, be it condemning or praising. What's the point of having the option to post comments here if they're all supposed to be complimentory?

@lekmioas Classical music has known to be somewhat limited and restrictive. She is playing whatever was written on the music sheets. How do you know she isn't feeling it? Just because she looks like she isn't doesn't mean so.
@lekmioas I'm not sure what kind of expressions you're looking for, but I see quite a bit of emotion in her performance. Watch her eyebrows, man. Watch her mouth.
To be honest, you're going to have to put a bit of work into finding the perfect instrument at the right price. Don't follow a brand name or popular maker. Only go by what you hear. Often times a newer maker will craft instruments that are just as good, if not better sounding than established luthiers. You can get them for cheaper, then, when they become better know, you can resell for higher. Price does not equal quality; USE YOUR EARS.
I play the viola, and I absloutly love it! I personally find it an intriging instrument, because it can hit the higher notes and the somewhat suductive lower notes. It is such a lovely instrument, and I think its waay better then the violin! :) The violin is a little bit too sickly sweet for my taste.
haha!!I so agree with you.I am also a violist and viola is way better then a violin.We can actually play notes that people can hear and enjoy that arent to high.Weve got depth.GO VIOLAS AND THEIR PLAYAS!!!!<3
I have just switched from playing the violin for eight years to the viola for a bit of a change of pace, and it truly is a beautiful instrument. I agree that viola is relatively easy to pick up form playing the violin - I can play the viola fine now after a month. This piece is absolutely beautiful - I agree that viola is highly under appreciated, and I'm looking forward to playing more music on this wonderful instrument.
Viola is harder to play then violin, while violin already has all the high notes, on a viola its harder to find, because of its more beautiful mellow tone
in september I'm starting with the violin, but I was not sure whether to learn viola or violin, but at my school they only teach violin so the choice was made for me =( but if I ever get the chance to learn to viola I'm going for it
Ok, so I just bought J.S. Bach's six sonatas and partitas arranged for viola, because I thought that was the book this solo would be in. However, not one of those solos in there is this piece!(or at least, none of them start out like her's does). Can someone tell me if I got the wrong book? If so, which book does this piece come in? I want to play this one for my junior year in high school for solo and ensemble and I cannot find it anywhere!! Can someone help me?!?!
go right ahead...I play both...I started with Violin though and it took me about a week to learn since I took my viola out every day. I LOVE being able to play and keep up with both of the instruments just don't drop the viola completely since Orchestras need Violists and In my opinion Violins can be very competitive.
Dont do violin...I just switched to viola...i play viola in youth orchestra and violin in adult...but my violin sounds horrible compared to the viola....please don do it...its not very kind to the ears
Wow i love this. I Play viola and i have to decide what piece by Bach I want to play... it's so hard. They are all so beautiful. She makes me want to play this suite. GO Golga...!
aquairiq: Sorry if I misunderstood you, but are you aware that this was originally written for solo violin? Unless you are merely agreeing with me that it sounds better on viola =)
Anytime someone even compares a violin to a viola, I am TOTALLY offended!! I hate it so much!! And yes I agree one hundred percent about that whole, "But arent they the same thing?" Its like, NO THEY ARE NOT!!! Ugh! I'm getting flustered about it right now!
You know, and in Spanish the direct translation for viola is rape (can also be to violate something but not how my family used it)... so when I first started playing my family called me the violator aka "la violadora."
AHAHAHAHA!!! I was eating skittles and when I read that, I started choking on one!! That is so funny!! :DD Haha, the violator! That's hilarious! I'm never going to forget that one. That's one of those jokes you just never forget! Can you say, knee slapper?! :D
I wish music was a little more focus on the viola part. All we get is the background all the time. This is so beautiful, it's such an inspiration to listen to this.
I hate how people think the violin and viola are the same thing! Violas are always forgotten even though they also sound so beautiful! I play the viloa at school and will also in hight school!
violas are very amazing, i play one myself. I think they are looked over very much and should have more appreciation. When I tell people i play the viola they are like, viola? what is that? The girl in this video really shows what a viola can do.
I play viola and am proud of it (although I can also play violin). I believe that we viola players are much unappreciated, ESPECIALLY since we were the first member of the "violin" (hem, hem) family. Bravo for this video!!!
By the way, everyone go look up "Viola Poem" on Google - there is a poem talking about why viola is the greatest instrument of all time. And it's true. :-)
yea same here. i bring my viola to school and here's what i usually get.
girl: is that your violin?
me: no. i play viola
girl: no, that's a violin.
me: um no, it's not it's a VIOLA!
girl: no! there are 4 different types of violins in strings.
me: uh no there's cello, bass, viola nd violin
girl: but they're differnt types of violins
by then i just leave all pissed. my conductor notices us more now. weve been getting the melodies and she called the viola the "perfect intrument" VIOLAS
lmao four different type of violin...Epic i'd have laughed in her face...but that's good for u.. violas in our orchestra are still background ;( like this one violinst is trying me to come to this youth orchestra...they have NO violist i was like :o but we have to get more popular *determined* xD :P
Lol!!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean!!!! One time, somone asked me what instrument I played and I said viola. Then we both went through the same convorsation you described, and then in the end, they said "Oh, okay. But it's actually called V(eye)ola, right?" And I said, "No, it's vEEola." Then they said, "Well, it's pronounced either way." And I'm like, well, you didn't even know what a viola was until I told you, so don't tell ME how to pronounce it!!!!
haha I know what you mean. someone asked me why I was taking a guitar to school once and I was like "um this is a viola." and then I had to explain what a viola is
I know.. its so annoying! my orchestra teacher kind of overlooks the violas too. The teachers seem to always focus on the violins. I am taking violin private classes this year, but I'm still going to play viola.
unffortunatley, teachers are kind of forced to pay more attention to violins, (curse those violins...) seeing as almost all orchestral music is written around the violin, for some unknown reason... personally i hate it, but it also makes violas some of the highest payed orchestral players since there are so few of us... and if you havent figured it out, I play the viola also. And as a side note, I get the whole violin and violas are the same thing, even in highschool...
I'm a violin player, who hated how mundane the viola was. Until I actually picked up one, I didn't appreciate it. It has such a great low sound. If it weren't for the the nasty alto clef I would actually play it.
This song just really shows how beautiful a viola can be in the right hands (:
I just don't find real depth, understanding, layers and artistic profoundness in her playing. These are the greatest masterpieces we are dealing with here and they are not meant to be played so you can set the metronome to them. Where is freedom and originality? Bach backfires when performed by eminent schoolgirls.
That is to keep the sound ringing and to make it resonate better. The sound still continues after the bow is lifted. If you watch a concert, watch the cellos. They might do it for 20 seconds "after" the note. It might bother you now, but when you get better, you notice soluble differences like that and appreciate it better. Keep up the playing! Another viola, another nice instrument!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To me that sounds like a trumpet, hard and all but relaxed played, intonation isn't good really, phrases aren't interesting. A good sounding viola maybe. There is no need to play baroque music like this today. Back to musica da camera and not to huge concert hall concerts - there you won't need such a sound.
Intonation isnt good? You shmuck, its in a different KEY.
LOL. and theres no imaginable way to play this in anyother way than whats provided. aand musica da camera just means chamber music you idiot. and in chamber music; music was played for its own sake & pleasure.
I don't want to be as rude (and wrong with his silly 'key' comment)as our friend ervin, but I do largely disagree. It's a very full and sonorous sound, much lower in pitch than a trumpet, and while her intonation isn't spot-on, it's pretty good in this very hard piece (the Sarabande from the 2nd. Partita for solo violin). Of course you can play in authentic style and that is very rewarding (Rachel Podger, for example), but I think Olga Goija does well here, and she gives me a lot of pleasure.
Yes viola is SOO much better. Has a beautiful deep low string. Violin has a high squeaky one. I am a viola player and I know a violin player. How can they live with a violin. SO LOUD!
and this is why I play viola......

I wish music was a little more focus on the viola part. All we get is the background all the time. This is so beautiful, it's such an inspiration to listen to this.

I hate how people think the violin and viola are the same thing! Violas are always forgotten even though they also sound so beautiful! I play the viloa at school and will also in hight school!

violas are very amazing, i play one myself. I think they are looked over very much and should have more appreciation. When I tell people i play the viola they are like, viola? what is that? The girl in this video really shows what a viola can do.

I play viola and am proud of it (although I can also play violin). I believe that we viola players are much unappreciated, ESPECIALLY since we were the first member of the "violin" (hem, hem) family. Bravo for this video!!!
By the way, everyone go look up "Viola Poem" on Google - there is a poem talking about why viola is the greatest instrument of all time. And it's true. :-)

yea same here. i bring my viola to school and here's what i usually get.
girl: is that your violin?
me: no. i play viola
girl: no, that's a violin.
me: um no, it's not it's a VIOLA!
girl: no! there are 4 different types of violins in strings.
me: uh no there's cello, bass, viola nd violin
girl: but they're differnt types of violins
by then i just leave all pissed. my conductor notices us more now. weve been getting the melodies and she called the viola the "perfect intrument" VIOLAS
ohmigoditsL 2 years ago 6

Lol!!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean!!!! One time, somone asked me what instrument I played and I said viola. Then we both went through the same convorsation you described, and then in the end, they said "Oh, okay. But it's actually called V(eye)ola, right?" And I said, "No, it's vEEola." Then they said, "Well, it's pronounced either way." And I'm like, well, you didn't even know what a viola was until I told you, so don't tell ME how to pronounce it!!!!

haha I know what you mean. someone asked me why I was taking a guitar to school once and I was like "um this is a viola." and then I had to explain what a viola is

I know.. its so annoying! my orchestra teacher kind of overlooks the violas too. The teachers seem to always focus on the violins. I am taking violin private classes this year, but I'm still going to play viola.
paige1040 2 years ago 2
unffortunatley, teachers are kind of forced to pay more attention to violins, (curse those violins...) seeing as almost all orchestral music is written around the violin, for some unknown reason... personally i hate it, but it also makes violas some of the highest payed orchestral players since there are so few of us... and if you havent figured it out, I play the viola also. And as a side note, I get the whole violin and violas are the same thing, even in highschool...

I'm a violin player, who hated how mundane the viola was. Until I actually picked up one, I didn't appreciate it. It has such a great low sound. If it weren't for the the nasty alto clef I would actually play it.
This song just really shows how beautiful a viola can be in the right hands (:

the alto clef is actually really easy i think, it only took me two weeks me two weeks to get it to a side reading level.

I just don't find real depth, understanding, layers and artistic profoundness in her playing. These are the greatest masterpieces we are dealing with here and they are not meant to be played so you can set the metronome to them. Where is freedom and originality? Bach backfires when performed by eminent schoolgirls.

That is to keep the sound ringing and to make it resonate better. The sound still continues after the bow is lifted. If you watch a concert, watch the cellos. They might do it for 20 seconds "after" the note. It might bother you now, but when you get better, you notice soluble differences like that and appreciate it better. Keep up the playing! Another viola, another nice instrument!

The strings still vibrate, even after the bow is lifted off. It just makes the 'end' of the sound more beautiful... and doesn't cut it off.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
To me that sounds like a trumpet, hard and all but relaxed played, intonation isn't good really, phrases aren't interesting. A good sounding viola maybe. There is no need to play baroque music like this today. Back to musica da camera and not to huge concert hall concerts - there you won't need such a sound.
amapparat 3 years ago
Intonation isnt good? You shmuck, its in a different KEY.
LOL. and theres no imaginable way to play this in anyother way than whats provided. aand musica da camera just means chamber music you idiot. and in chamber music; music was played for its own sake & pleasure.
great viola playing.
ervin0001 3 years ago 2
I don't want to be as rude (and wrong with his silly 'key' comment)as our friend ervin, but I do largely disagree. It's a very full and sonorous sound, much lower in pitch than a trumpet, and while her intonation isn't spot-on, it's pretty good in this very hard piece (the Sarabande from the 2nd. Partita for solo violin). Of course you can play in authentic style and that is very rewarding (Rachel Podger, for example), but I think Olga Goija does well here, and she gives me a lot of pleasure.

Yes viola is SOO much better. Has a beautiful deep low string. Violin has a high squeaky one. I am a viola player and I know a violin player. How can they live with a violin. SO LOUD!

violin is over rated. The viola has such a rich, unique sound. Absolutely beautiful. People don't realise it has such qualities.
