Who else came here just to hear the sound of a viola if it's as bad twosetviolin says??? But omg Im inlove with the violaaaalalala

[@nickmorris2930]

im a TwoSet fan but a viola player. after seeing the hating on viola memes its nice to see in the comments how much people enjoy the viola. i seriously dont understand how the joke of hating violas even started tho

[@mariana96ssantos]

I think viola shame is kinda stupid, imo viola sounds much better than the violin and I'm a begginer violinist

[@Shirafune161]

Nick Morris, apparently, viola abuse started about two hundred years ago lol. There's even a wikipedia page about viola jokes: "Viola jokes are thought to have originated in the 18th century, when viola parts were often simple and thus amenable to untalented musicians." Personally, I always thought viola sounded like a more badass version of violin.

[@Peechiness]

@@mariana96ssantos sorry but like twosetviolin said : the harry potter spell that can make you go deaf is Violahamora! When I was a kid who didn't know the diff btwn the two, I didnt know why some violins sounded great, others sounded like shit. As an adult I was like OHHHHHH there's violin and then there's viola. I've always felt that way and 2setviolin just solidified the joke for me. It's great

[@bananasaging9234]

Yo dont take it seriously it's all a joke

[@dashacasciero5371]

Two set is always bashing the Viola but now I'm certain that they're just intimidated by it. It's so beautiful, mellow and rich sounding... Lovely. 😍

Never knew viola existed until I discovered twoset. Now I enjoy the viola, and I can tell the difference So I guess bad publicity is good publicity, am I right?

[@brentusfirmus]

This is far and away the best viola concerto I have heard so far. It's clear that Forsyth was a consummate orchestrator - the viola really shines, and is never overpowered or relegated to the background Compliments to the performers!

[@tchaikoffkey]

Cecil Forsyth literally "wrote the book" on orchestration haha! his textbook is still widely used today!

[@bluemoun1914]

Well we violinists don’t hate/disrespect it, we just thinks it’s funny b/ it doesn’t stand out in the orchestra that much. Like no one cared if there’s a viola or not b/ no one can really hear it.

[@lacy_daughterofaphrodite6325]

I’m actually watching this panicking because it’s actually beautiful but I make fun of it all the time as a violinist ._. Sorry violas..

This piece was going to be my debut as a violin-turned-violist, but COVID cancelled the concert only two weeks before. This was back in march of 2020, and I haven't touched the piece since. I'm slowly falling back in love with it, and I'm determined to perform it some day. Hopefully it'll be at least half as incredible as this performer played it :)

[@venusbarth7559]

Amazing concentration. Amazing direction. AMAZING soloist. Amazing orchestra. So much musicality in this wonderful piece...

[@HelloThere...]

Musicality comes from the player, not the piece... but yes...

[@jaycemilburn5327]

1st off, I’m in love with this piece and the soloist. Second I’m at university for viola and I am extremely intimidated by the fact most of these performers are younger than me....

[@martinlynn3699]

Bad news. That gets worse as you go.

[@salk7992]

I appreciate the richness of the viola. All instruments are beautiful in their own way. None would stand out if the other didn't exist.

[@faustoorieta]

Such a beautiful, full tone. The viola is like a more mature and sad version of a violin.

Such a beautiful sound from that instrument! Phrasing and overall character got me very much in engaged from the first chord!

Also, I want that Viola. Love the C string sound. 😍

[@kawaiigoomy3487]

I have played the violin in my elementary school orchestra for a year (11 years ago 😅), and really like the violin, but I think the viola needs more love. 😊❤️🎻

As a viola player myself, I can’t even begin how good the instrument sounds even though I’m not perfect and not a professional

[@thomasdinan9667]

Violin is my instrument, and I'm embarrassed to say that I've not heard much of the viola repertoire. Great piece! (As for TwoSet, I don't know why they go on about violas. I love those guys, but they really need to give it a rest).

[@ruthe.2292]

Viola's RULE!! This just proves it.

What's everyone afraid of when someone walks into a bank with a violin case? That he'll pull out a machine gun and start shooting. What's everyone afraid of when someone walks into a bank with a viola case? That he'll pull out a viola and start playing.

[@MrKeithterrett]

Beautiful and captivating Concerto from Forsythe, showing there is much more to him than his famous book on Orchestration. It really shows that Cecil was a Violist. Great orchestration, wonderful playing from Joanna Ławcewicz, Piotr Staniszewski - conductor and the Józef Elsner School of Music Symphony Orchestra.

[@isabelleliu995]

i love it. she plays so beautifully and deeply. i especially like 2:58 :D awesome..

Such wonderful music, and played so skillfully. You make that viola sound amazing, wonderful. Thanks for sharing this piece.

Viola vs Violin is kinda like Trumpet vs French Horn. Other is more popular and widespread, but the other is just more dramatic and glorious.

I'm almost 100% sure they added the "Twoset was wrong" part recently. Or maybe it was on a different channel? I definitely remember seeing this recording before with the regular title.

Twoset does bash the viola alot, but it is just a simple, long running joke. the viola is a beautiful instrument and you shouldn’t be ashamed to play it!

[@martinlynn3699]

I played the Viola in school days but it was always the red-headed stepchild in the orchestra. It got all the notes no one else wanted. Always loved the tone and still do, but it's very limited in the types of music it can do, so I ended up switching to violin. Many more genres available ( e.g. bluegrass, jazz, etc). Still, violas are great.
