Viola
The viola is slightly larger than the violin and significantly smaller than the violoncello. The viola, in its place in the orchestra, is overshadowed by the violin.
This instrument was generally ignored until the 20th century, and the musicians who played the viola were considered unsuccessful violinists.
In the 20th century important virtuosos raised the profile of the viola and its musicians within the general public.
The viola’s role is essential in the orchestra and many pieces have been written for the viola and orchestra, with the viola as protagonist.
Melodies for the viola in contemporary Greek compositions, and folk pieces, demonstrate exemplary beauty.
The violin often has an important part in Jazz pieces, additionally.
The study of the viola is recognised by the State and affords its students a Certificate and Diploma. Duration of tuition is 10 years for the Certificate and 11 or 12 years for the Diploma.
