This was a piece I wrote during college. I've always considered the viola an exceedingly underrated instrument with a lack of pieces featuring it as a solo instrument. This is my humble attempt to write a piece for solo viola with a small orchestra accompaniment. I actually wrote this with a spefic person to play it at the time (someone I had a crush on at the time actually...) and had the opportunity to have a playthrough with the university orchestra but unfortunately she got nervous at the last minute so it never got played. It's supposed to be kind of an ironic piece as the solo viola theme is highly arppegiated and still generally accompanies the orchestra, albeit with a bit more virtuosic material.
