What is a "viola"?
A viola is a stringed instrument that is slightly larger than a violin but smaller than a cello. It has a rich, warm sound and is played with a bow. The viola has four strings, and its notes are five notes lower than those of the violin, which gives it a deeper and mellower tone. It is commonly used in orchestras and chamber music, where it often plays harmonies and inner parts that support the melodies played by other instruments. The viola's distinctive sound adds depth and richness to both classical and contemporary music.
