I usually dont go through parts for shows, but after i heard that a few players are pulling out because the music is too tricky i decided to have a quick perusal of the 'ol viola part, which is a pile of music larger than my entire pile of string quartet gig folders
Here is my only solo, (well, the only one i could find. the previous player helpfully jotted down a few notes) microscopically more epic than my solo last year.
I think this is my fanciest page. About an hour and a half into the show i get to perform a loud 6 bar rest, followed by a keychange into C for another 6 bar rest, then a few lines later a two bar solo on a down-bow, muted, gently mezzo-forte B, my third favourite note after G and C. I anticipate that the first rehersal will shed more light onto the rumors that this is a really hard show, we'll wait and see.

I had believed that A was your favourite note - it being the very first that I taught you!
