Violotta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A violotta is a tenor viola (or tenor violin) invented by the German luthier Alfred Stelzner and patented in 1891. It is tuned in G D A E, an octave below the violin.
It is rarely used by composers. One of the few works where it is used is the String Quintet in A by Felix Draeseke. It is also used in Max von Schillings' opera „Der Pfeifertag“ (1899).de:Violotta hu:Violotta
