    The viola is the forgotten member of the violin family. Ever since baroque times, it has been regarded as an inferior violin-player's instrument--if you can't hack it on violin then take up the viola. Bach wrote more advanced parts for viola because he may have thought that it too was underrated. But the viola is mellower than the violin. Not as hot and emotional but cooler and gentler. I've always loved the sound of it. Here is an example of how to use the viola to its best effect. Don't go all Paganini with it, but tug at the emotions with a mellower approach. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence." Excellent choice to showcase the abilities of the viola. Thank you.

      I play violin and i think the viola has one of the most beautiful and seductive sounds

    one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever written in my humble opinion; perfect for ear training; little bit of a challenge which is what we want right; comes from the depths; de profundus; no words necessary; every body pray for the composer;

    Whoa what a deep cut! I believe this music was written by Ryuichi Sakamoto who at the time was doing really well with YMO~! He was also in the film along with David Bowie! I've actually never seen it but have always wanted to
