So, I had the idea for this poll after searching YouTube for 'Viola'. And, no, I cannot name a famous violist.

William Primerose had some pretty good vertuosi.  If your looking for a more modern violist, I suggest listening to some of Scott Slapin's work.
At the risk of ruining Briar's career by disparaging her find of the famous Sackaleaderer horse...

Yes. I wear high heels Krowdon. Any tips on how I should do my hair?

The Lady Shael

Haha, that's funny, the second I saw the title for the poll, I thought, "I'm a violist......", but then you said besides me. XD

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

I'm just amazed that someone acctually could name a couple. I guess they can take my classical music card now... (wait, do I have membership cards for all of my interests/abilities?)

I couldn't name any famous violists but then I couldn't name any famous violinists either. So much good my music appreciation class did me.  :-\
