What is Viola Concert?
Viola Concert is a musical composition with a solo viol and a support orchestra. Like Concerti for other tools, Viola Concert usually has several movements. The purpose of the Viola solo is to emphasize the level of expression and technical capability, but because the word "concert" means playing each other in almost struggle or duel, the support orchestra must also be essential abilities that are also present in accordance with other numbers that are present in the smallest. This is related to how Viola has evolved. This is also related to the role that Viola usually plays in ensembles and its acoustic properties.
before the 16th century, string instruments played with bows were present, but were different than the modern family of the violin in the overall design, size and number of chains. ScholarsThey are not sure which member of the modern violin family developed first, but some experts believe that on the basis of linguistic evidence and the presence of a certain terminology in music documents and the score, Viola first evolved. Yet this happened until the middle to the end of the 15th century. The instrumental concert for any tool did not start to appear until the end of the 16th century, because the available tools did not allow so much virtuosity, and because the musicians took the time to move around how and what to compose.
The fact that the whole violin family evolved and improved meant that it was not only until the Baroque period or about 1650 to 1750, the composers first looked at viola as a solo instrument. An example of a viola concert written during this period is Viola Concert in G Major Georg Philip Telemann. Some musicians believe this is one of the first compound viola concerti, not if the first. A handful of composers also tried to write koNcerts for viola, but like other forms, viola concert fell out of kindness until the 20th century, when the composers "rediscent" viola.
The composers have never really caught up on Viola Concerti, because even though it has a tone that is quite beautiful in itself, viola is usually a supportive tool. It plays a harmonizing playground or anti -milestone, serves as an inner voice in files. Due to the extent of the Viola playground, viola suffers the same problem as the cello in that it is very difficult for players to easily project your sound through the sound of the accompanying orchestra. This is a minor problem with the chamber orchestra of 50 players or less, but standard orchestras can have up to 100 players. Another problem is that the violin is a more popular tool that makes the difficult for the composers to choose viola when they want to ensure that the composition becomes remarkable or programmed at concerts.
On the technical side, Viola Concerti is usually in the form of an "Italian" concert. This means that existingThey take three movements, with the first fast, second slow and the last fast. This form became popular after the Baroque period, during which the concert usually had four movements of slow, fast, slow and fast pace. Classic violo concerts of three movements usually follow the sonata form for the first movement, the ternary form for the second movement and the rondo form for the last movement.
