Welcome to the long-overdue revamp of the Hommage to the Viola. This page started as an idle excuse to get out of a high school music class. I didn't really think that anyone actually used the net when I did this, but to my great surprise people actually found it. Over the last few years I have recieved numerous and (mostly) helpful and enthusiastic emails from fellow violists and other interested people. Thank you. Much of what I have done to this site is a direct result of your suggestions. Please keep them coming. I also owe much to the Internet Viola Society (if you guys are still out there) and Viola.com, two of the internet's guiding lights for violists. So, enjoy.

Yours,

W.H. Rupp
