Ever since I entered the classical music community, I've always wondered why viola is frequently dissed by a lot of people. Now that I have come across this video, I question the reason even more.
I know what you mean and just earlier today I found out another epic viola track check out shadow of war main menu theme it was like love at first sight but that’s just me
idc abt the jokes, violas have always caught my eye and been one of my favorite instruments ever since the first time i learned about music. a beautiful performance right there !
Just how does you make it sound so light and not heavy at all? That's somethig I feel like I struggle with as a violist. Amazingly well played. You made me wanting to go and practice
@@Andreyhello No not if you do it right, even we cellists can get a light sound and our instrument is very heavy a lot of the time. The right bow technique is very difficult but can be done on any instrument, its all just practice!
Es excelente chicos, en cuanto al arreglo sin defectos. Un detalle en la puesta, disponerse de tal forma que el pianista no quede eclipsado. Es un punto para alcanzar la perfección. En esta presentación sencilla se puede lograr sin mayores arreglos porque es un dúo. Ambos se pueden ver al rostro sin darse la espalda o taparse. Lo estético también importa. Gracias!
I still play a viola, one day I would like to play like you :D right now I don't have a viola because I needed a 17-inch one but there isn't one in my country and the one I had was 15-inch we sold it to be able to buy that one but we couldn't find it :c
There isn’t, I may be replying a year late but you can get it on jwpepper for 30$ it’s a ridiculous price but in my opinion, i thinks it’s worth it (it comes with piano accompaniment too)
No we don't, we just joke because of its register, it's a lot more difficult to appreciate the sound for alti register than Soprani. And because of it violin has a lot more répertoire. Also viola is most likely to miss intonation because of its physical shape.
C est bien . Et est ce que ça pourrait être mieux avec la cross de l alto plus haute...je joue sans épaulière ni mantoniere et ça oblige à lever le manche..Et je trouve aussi que le son s est amélioré depuis et ça donne beaucoup de liberté à la main gauche. Mais c est vrai l alto c est lourd.. alors c est pas évident..bonne continuation cher virtuose.
Not sure if you’re joking or serious, but here, have a genuine answer. It’s a viola, not a violin. Violas are slightly lower-pitched than violins, and have a more mellow sound. Because of the more mellow sound, violas tend to get lots of background parts in music, if they’re even present at all. And since they’re almost always getting the harmony, they tend to live in the shadows of the violins, and very few people outside of the music community know what they are.
