I've searched. Oh, how I've searched. And all in vain: there are no proper viola ensemble pieces, anywhere. It could be a duet, a trio, a quartet, all the way up to an octet - nothing. This is where you come in:

Do you, by any chance, know or have any viola ensemble pieces that are nice to play? I guess they shouldn't be over-the-edge hard, but my friends and I are pretty advanced. Please please tell me about it if you know any nice pieces!

Hey, thanks for the link, I've tried WIMA before, but viola ensembles are close to non-existent. The Telemann piece is quite intriguing, I had to research it a bit before understanding how it's played. It's practically the two violas playing the same thing, just with a measure between them.

Thank you again! I'll look into this one a bit more.

Thank you, I'll check up on those cello ensembles. There were quite a lot of them last time I looked in Youtube (:

Yes, that last Bach piece is quite nice. Though quite short. Thanks for all these updates!

There are huge amounts of Viola Ensemble pieces out there, I'm doing a project and compiling a list of viola ensemble repertoire from 2-20 violas and my list is already 3 pages long...still not done. Try searching for the Penn State Viola Ensemble and check out their list of repertoire, it is quite extensive. Ot look at the BYU library website, you may be able to ask your college or a college near you to interlibrary loan it.
