FOOTNOTES

1 Maurice W. Riley: The History of the Viola, published by Maurice W. Riley, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Edition 1, 1980. (The second edition was released in October, 1991.)

2 -The reader must bear in mind that Zeyringer's Die Viola da braccio currently is published only in German. All quotes in English have been translated by the reviewer.

3 Both Riley and Zeyringer note that there are more extant 16th century violas than violins. Neither claims that the viola preceded the violin, although Zeyringer perhaps comes closer to suggesting this. Each author concludes that the violin, viola and cello probably evolved concurrently.
