What is the difference between a violin and a viola?
Violas have a lower and deeper sound and are slightly larger than violins. Whereas, a violin is a wooden chordophone, also known as a fiddle, and is said to be the highest-pitched instrument because of their smaller size.
The Viola is called 'alto' in French and 'Bratsche' in German. It is played with a bow and is a string instrument.
A viola's strings arranged from low to high are tuned to C3, G3, D4, and A4, thus making 'C' the lowest note on a viola. Viola is the full name of the instrument, but in Medical Science, Viola is short for 'Visual Input/Output Locator Algorithm'.
Musicians say that playing the viola is easier for beginners. If a person can play the violin, they can easily play the viola.
These viola facts will help you understand more about how the jokes on playing the viola started around the 18th century and became so popular. It was very common for a violist to play relatively easy accompaniment parts at that time, so violists and violas were not preferred as solo performers.
As a result, viola players were paid low salaries, and that is how viola jokes started. Nowadays, an experienced viola player earns a starting salary of $25,000 – $65,000.
Individuals like Niccolò Paganini, Kim Kashkashian, Paul Hindemith, William Primrose, Carl Stamitz, Tabea Zimmermann, Nobuko Imai, Lawrence Power, Yuri Bashmet are known to be some of the best viola players in the world. Many believe that Lionel Tertis was the best viola player in the world during the 17th century.
