As someone who does not know the difference between violin and viola. can someone explain to me, if what I hear at the beginning is viola or violin. Is it combination?

[London Symphony Orchestra]

The tune at the beginning is played by the violins; the violas are playing an accompanying line.

[Richard Morrow]

WHY should the Apprentice not have PICKED UP ON IT ???? as now millians of people have heard it who otherwise would not have ,,,,,,,

[SirAbdulle]

This is power. That's it.

[sleepystudent92]

Absolutely amazing. It's so much better to watch the piece being played live than just closing your eyes and listening to it.
