    I played the viola in school because everyone else wanted the violin. Even in Jr high and high school, there were only three of us. I absolutely love the deep notes and tones so much better than the violin. The viola is a beautiful instrument, the alto sister. ( I'm looking at mine in her case now

    I have a lot of respect for the viola. I bought a viola case for my violin so nobody would steel my violin. Now to be serious, I am a amateur violinist who loves the sound of the viola. I have a number of viola CDs. I plan to purchase a viola in the near future. My favorite viola sonata is Henry Vieuxtemps Capriccio (unaccompanied solo). How can anybody listen to Vieuxtemps' Caprice and not fall in love with the viola. One last comment: My violin teacher's favorite string instrument was the viola.

      Saying that the viola is bad because it's like a "deep violin" is like saying a female alto singer is not as good/important as a soprano. The violin can often sound squeaky, jsut as a soprano can often sound too thin. Viola, like alto singers, add some depth without being too deep. It's warm, in my opinion.

Suddenly some girls did want to play viola only to stand upfront as well, and at rallies the boys could see them. My teacher was strict and believed your instrument should be connected to you not easily tossed to pick another.

    I kind of see the violin and Viola as soprano and alto, the viola gives more depth to everything, while the violin is more more higher and in some way shinier?
    I mean I guess some people hate the violin because violinists often make fun of violist but still.
    The worst are people saying that "the violin is screechy and sounds bad in wrong hands", every instrument sounds bad in wrong hands, or do you really think every violist sounds like that. It's all about practice.

    I used to think of the viola as a mini-cello, but not anymore. It's a beautiful instrument that stands on its own. It has an earthy warmth in the lower registers that the violin lacks, and a richness in the middle to higher tones that is simultaneously as dulcet as the violin and as velvety as the cello's. In other words, it has a bit of the best of both. A wonderful instrument that should be heard more in concert halls.

      Fun fact: The viola was Mozart's favorite stringed instrument to play, though he was also proficient on the violin. If I had to venture a guess (as another autistic composer who started on violin and prefers the viola), it's because he enjoyed the vibrations of the lower notes on the viola, as they create a pleasant rumbling in the chest and spread like warmth. The higher notes on a violin do not satisfy in the same way.
      That and he was also a huge fanboy of Haydn, who invented the string quartet, so Mozart would compose a lot of these quartets and play the viola to Haydn's violin.
      And perhaps his father Leopold's occupation as a violin teacher grated on him when the two would fight, so the viola was a form of rebellion, as it was a very unpopular instrument to write solos for in Mozart's time. Sure to get under his father's skin.
      These are all conjectures, though. But whatever the reason, Mozart adored the viola more than the violin, and so do I.

      I'm not a musician and I don't really know anything aside from the bare basics about the viola. I obviously don't get the viola jokes, I have no context for it. So it's just like an inside joke I'm witnessing when I watch them. But anyway because of Twoset, I also sought out viola solos and it's made me realize that I prefer the viola to the violin.

    The viola is the bullied kid in class. Just because nobody shows it love, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve love. Just because it gets picked last, doesn't mean it's an unworthy player. Just because it is kept in the sidelines, doesn't mean it lacks the capacity to shine.

It spoke of feelings I didn’t wish to shout. Later my teacher told me I was too good for the violin. It takes a person not a puppet to play the viola.
