What musical role does the viola play?

The viola is a member of the string family, sitting side-by-side with the violins, the cellos, and the string bass sections of the orchestra. Together they can play in infinite combinations depending on what the music requires.In many orchestral pieces, the most important feature of the viola is that it is the "inner voice." It provides harmony and support for the violins, which are often in charge of the melody.But this is not always the case. In several pieces, the violas have moments of great melodic importance, and can sometimes even steal the show. Composers such as Johannes Brahms even wrote works where the violas replaced the violins, for example in the orchestral "Serenade Number 2 in A, Op.16."The violas work closely with the cellos and basses providing rhythmic support to the orchestra as well. The more pieces you listen to, the more aware you will become that every instrument can play many different roles in an orchestral work.


Difference between viola and violin?

The most noticeable difference between the two is that the violin is slightly smaller. The result is that the violin is higher pitched. The bow, I believe, is also smaller and the frog (the part that you hold) is squared-shaped on the violin bow. On a viola bow it is more rounded. Though size is the most noticeable difference the most important is the strings. A violin (lowest to highest string) is strung like this: G D A E A viola (lowest to highest string) is strung like this C G D A. A violin does not have a C string and a typical viola doesn't have an E string. (You can get some five string violas, but they are rare) Another major difference is that a violin is played using the G cleff, a viola however is played using the little known and little used C cleff. I have played the viola for five years and I work with a bunch of violinists (as well as cellists and [double] bassists and in fact other violists) in a string orchestra. Another note: in a typical string orchestra you have two sections of violins (The first violins and the second violins) and one section of violas.

They're called f cuts. And electric violins don't have them because the purpose of f cuts is to let the vibrations in the violin out. Producing sound. Electric violins don't work the same way normal violins do.
