Today I would like to share with you Romance for Viola and Orchestra, by German composer Max Bruch (1838-1920).
The viola is the violin’s bigger and sadder cousin. My niece Irene studied the violin from age five, switched to the viola when she was fifteen, and now at twenty-three is studying viola in the graduate program of the Royal College of Music in London. When I asked her why she switched from violin to viola, her answer was, “The violin was too whiny.”
This piece by Bruch certainly highlights the beauty and non-whinyness of the viola. Enjoy.
