Guest Post: The Viola
Hello Everyone, My name is Evie and I blog at “A Period Drama Fangirl”, I am very excited today because my new friend (the owner of this blog) Paige invited me to do a guest post. Of course I eagerly accepted, so thanks for having me Paige! :) Today’s post will be on the viola as I personally think that the Viola is a very underrated instrument that deserves some love. So I am writing this post to hopefully raise awareness about this lovely instrument. I have been playing the viola for 10 years (since I was 7) and I think it has the most beautiful tonal quality. The Viola also has the ability to have the melody (but that is rare) and often provides the lower register notes to provide the much needed sound that is present in an orchestra. Those are the four strings that are on a viola... so basically the most common question I am asked is "What exactly is a viola?" Nope, it’s a completely different instrument! You know this ^ diagr...
