Why would Einstein be cited as an authority on the viola? His name being included actually makes me question the point, not be more willing to accept it. -- Alcourt 02:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because Alfred Einstein was a renowned and highly-respected musicologist (unlike the similarly-named and possibly distantly-related physicist and amateur violinist Albert Einstein, whom you may be thinking of). Emoll (talk) 23:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Selected" list of concertos and concertante works?

Looks more like every one in existence was thrown in :-) Le the 04:32, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that only concerti that has been published or performed by a major symphony orchestra be included. --Marcparella (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's still a huge list. I've eliminated some so that just famous ones are listed. Well, there were some that could go one way or the other so, just to be safe, I left those. Gingermint (talk) 04:10, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've dropped a few more. Works that've been performed once or twice and works that professional violists in major symphony orchestras have never heard of (I made calls) do NOT belong in a selected list. They belong in an exhaustive list. Gingermint (talk) 19:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about Hindemith's Schwanendreher, which is a viola concerto? C. Cerf (talk) 02:00, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

J. C. Bach

I don't know who added the J. C. Bach concerto bullet, but it should be mentioned that it is a spurious work and was actually written by Henry Casadessus. AdamChapman (talk) 19:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see now that the concerto is also mentioned as Casadessus' work. I will take the liberty of deleting the bullet about J.C's concerto.AdamChapman (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Viola Concerto Page as a Resource

While I understand wanting to list viola concerti that are famous, would it not be better to list a more comprehensive larger list of works that are not quite so common but still played? Since Wikipedia is a heavily used dictionary reference site I feel that the article could be more useful in spreading knowledge about viola repertoire in a more representative manner than just "the hits." Thoughts on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AltoJeff (talk • contribs) 21:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notes section

Can someone PLEASE change the notes section. It looks hideous, and I was the one who wrote it lol. I don't know how to make it nicer, but I've seen some pages where it looks really nice. Pacamah (talk) 13:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
