Yes. For example a C major triad can be played with an open C, open G, E on the D string, and if you want to, C on the A string. C2-G2-E3-C4

Usually to make a chord on any stringed instrument with intervals of fifths between the open strings (cello, viola, and violin), you need to make the third (and seventh if it's a seventh chord) one octave higher.

By the way, you can also arpeggiate the chords.

The viola is the best instrument in the world....okay I'm biased because I play one!! The viola is basically the chord filler. It fits the harmony in. In string quartets it can play with the violins or the cello. It also closes the gap between violin and cello so that the sound is complete.

What constitutes a chord in clarinet playing?

arpeggio It depends on what you're asking. A chord is formed when more than one note is played at the same time. Since the clarinet can only play one note at a time, it takes more than one clarinet playing at the same time to make a chord. When someone plays an arpeggio, they are playing multiple notes, but not at the same time.

Yes, generally if you practice in private, but show your abilities only in performance, after having mastered a piece of music. As long as you don't play both in solo in one performance, because this can be seen as pretentious. <><><> Also, make sure when you perform on the cello you are wearing a long skirt or pants.

Why do you think there needs to be more viola and cello players than tuba players in an orchestra?

Uhmmm... Because celli and violas don't make as much sound as tubas, and you can have only one tuba in the whole orchestra, and have it overpower all of the other instruments, but when you only have one cello, it's hard to hear them~same with the violas.
