solo viola "Hola Viola!", A Solo Viola Piece (Of Which Do Exist)

A musical joke. This is a revision where pizzicato trills were omitted.

Sounds great. I suppose technically all those double notes are possible. The sound is acceptable except for the trills and tremolos...

A humorous piece that wasn't too short, which I really enjoyed. I could easily imagine a solo violist standing on stage and playing the piece with all the different articulations that a viola can offer!

My only criticism concerns—as @Luis Hernández already mentioned—the trills and tremolos. While notation software usually delivers acceptable results for articulations such as staccatos, accents, etc., the automatic unfolding of trills and—even worse—tremolos is usually unusable. To get around this problem, you could try “writing them out” (for this you need a second version of the score, intended only for the MP3 output). I always do this when I use trills and tremolos. In this case, you can “fine-tune” the dynamics of these trills/tremolos, which significantly increases the realism.

Thank you for your contribution and welcome to the forum!

Well, yes, trills and tremolos sound rather bad in MuseScore Studio when output with the default "MS Basic" MIDI playback, but I don't like the custom MuseSounds engine either as it's VERY hard to balance dynamically and it's still rather unpolished in some fields where MS Basic is ironically superior. I'd prefer to use VSTs if not the fact using them in MuseScore is even harder than both of the previous options so I have to export the MIDI and use something like FL Studio or REAPER to fix the simple problem. VSTs still may struggle with trills and tremolos though 😉

In the end I just thought MS Basic would be fine this time. If you want I can use a VST to re-export though, no problem on that.
