I play viola and I think it is a great instrument. It is a little bit different from violin. Violin has a higher tune than viola and is smaller than viola. I started playing violin when I was 3 but I was not really interested in this instrument. When I became 10 I wanted to play viola more than violin so my mom changed her violin by adding viola strings and let me use it. But I was still not that interested in both the instruments. Until 1 day when I heard this song ‘Four Seasons’ which was composed by Antonio Vivaldi and was played only with Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass and the Basso continuo. The song was so good that I fell in love with its composer Antonio Vivaldi. Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian violinist. He was born in March 4, 1678. He had eight siblings. Antonio learned violin with Giovanni Battista. Antonio started learning violin at a very early age that is why he had a great knowledge of it at the age of 25. Antonio had health problems like asthma in later age but that didn’t stop him from playing violin. Antonio inspired me so much that I started playing viola every day. Antonio keeps on inspiring me till today because he is extremely good at making music with only 5 to 6 instruments. He is also very creative and his music never makes anybody get bored.
