Along with many of the great composers it is great to see that Naruhito the Emperor of Japan is a viola player

Obviously a man of impeccable taste as can be seen here by his choice of edition!

Thank you @mrjamesob for highlighting this. Growing up my parents knew nothing about classical music. I was so keen my Dad worked on my 1st teacher’s house in return for lessons 🎻 I made it to @RCMLondon in the 90’s & now strive to offer opportunities to others in my position.
