Chordophone string instrument |
The viola profonda is a four- stringed string instrument that fills the tenor range with its own timbre and thus reforms the harmonic relationship and balance of the classical string quartet . With the classic instrument types, such as woodwind instruments , brass instruments and also with the choir , each of the four voices ( soprano , alto , tenor , bass ) is represented by its own timbre.
The conventional string quartet fills its four-part structure with three timbres: two violins , viola , and cello .
The viola profonda completes the classical string quartet with the fourth timbre.
| voice | Classical string quartet | Natural string quartet |
|---|---|---|
| soprano | first violin | violin |
| Old | second fiddle | viola |
| tenor | viola | Viola Profonda |
| bass | violoncello | violoncello |
Just as the position of the violoncello is an octave below the viola, the position of the viola profonda is, according to the system, one octave below the violin.
- String tuning: G - d - a - e 'or F - c - g - d'
- Notation : In the G clef it sounds an octave lower than notated and transposed into the C clef it sounds a fourth lower than notated.
- How to play: As with the violin - lying on the shoulder
