  • People are racist towards violists, that's why. Or instrumenalistist--whatever, people don't appreciate the viola.

    It's part of a long history of abuse and neglect... j/k

  • Whenever I walk around with my viola, people automatically assume it is a violin. Once someone guessed again after saying violin and said cello......

    Things like this (the video) make me love my instrument even more.

  • ESRAA"..how beautiful and warm your sound IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just from heart.

    Bravoooooooooooooooo

  • beautiful viola dark sound!

  • inappropriate, shaky and way to airy for a second movement of a german classical concerto. try vieuxtemps, it would suit the way you're playing a lot better...or maybe not.

  • @BiteSizedRose Hey! You're most welcome. And I'm really chuffed to get a nice comment from someone. Thanks. Do please stick it onto your viola case - it's time the Shrinking Violet stops hiding her light under the bushel. And MAKE THE PRINT BIG!!!! :)

  • @JiangxenPeter As a violist for 11 years that also teaches violin, I love reading things like this where our lesser known instruments are discovered and loved. I feel like printing this out and taping it in my case to remind me to not play so quietly and shy. Thank you :)

  • bravo....!

  • Viola, the shy rose of the orchestra has no reason to be so!! She has a beautiful character & truly sexy voice: now soulful, now sweet, but always warm & seductive!! Like many violinists I was a bit snooty about the viola, until I took one and played it! And then, it was Love at First Touch!! The viola is so much more forgiving that the violin! I just love the velvety tone. It still sends shivers up my spine every time I play it or hear it being played! No wonder so many composers were violists!

  • @altonoir1 Haha, when I went to music camp, I heard jokes every single day in and out of rehearsals... some quite mean (even comparing violas to coffins). Then the conductor made everyone give the viola section a standing ovation after a beautiful soli section and it stopped. :-)
