"The First Great Virtuoso of the Viola"

Lionel Tertis

"Lionel Tertis had begun to change the history of the viola and
viola playing for all time."
--John White, 2006

"To speak of the viola is to speak of that great musician Lionel
Tertis, who has done more than any man living to rescue his
instrument from the former position as the Cinderella of stringed
instruments and has inspired almost all the leading English
composers of our time to write a work especially for him."
-- Robert Elkin, 1944
