Structural characteristics of the viola instrument

The viola is very similar to the violin but with a different size. The size of this instrument is a little bigger than the violin and it is 5 cm longer, because the difference in size is very small, sometimes it is difficult to separate it from the violin. Also, its sound range is lower than that of the violin, and its playing style is similar to that of the violin. In terms of sound range, this instrument has a sound between violin and cello. The body of the instrument consists of four parts: handle, strings, resonating bowl, and bow. The number of strings is the same as that of a violin, four, and since it is larger than a violin, its strings are also thicker. The resonating bowl is pear-shaped and usually made of hardwood such as ebony or rosewood. The bow is also made of horse hair. Among the most important viola players in the world, we can mention Carl Stamitz, Lionel Tertis, William Primrose, Nobuko Imai, Yuri Best, Lawrence Power, etc.

Music in Boston

The city of Boston is a large part of the current music scene in the US state of Massachusetts, which includes several genres of rock as well as classical, folk, and hip hop music. Perhaps the most influential early US composer is Lowell Mason. Mason was a native of Boston who fought against the use of punctuation and note teaching in a standard way at the time. Mason led American music to its modern European model. In addition to Mason, musicians such as Arzmwit, James Taylor, Donna Summer, the Deckers, J. Gill / Peter Wolf, John Baines, the New Edition, etc. also belong to Boston. The Blues House, Symphony Hall, Governor, Paradise Rock Club, Passim Club, Brighton Music Hall, Sinclair, etc. are some of the most famous music halls in Boston.
