Viola Alta Music

[elainefine]

There is a note about the Meyer-Olbersleben Viola Alta Sonata https://imslp.org/wiki/Viola_Alta_Sonat ... en%2C_Max) that says the piece can probably be played on the viola with some adjustments. As a violist I can confidently state that no adjustments are necessary for this piece or for any of the other Viola Alta music I have found. Ritter's Viola Alta is really just a big viola. The proportions of the body are more like the proportions of the violin, but the instrument is played exactly the same way. I would suggest changing the note to read that the music for viola alta can be played on a normal viola. That way this really terrific music might be played more often.
