Because of the title I thought it would be closer in sound to the viola, and therefore compared to a viola. Is it closer to violin?

I was reading the treatise on instrumentation by berlioz & strauss and berlioz described this instrument in great detail. I had never heard of it before then. I thought to myself "WOW that must sound marvelous!" I am not disappointed.
