how many violas typically form the viola section in an orchestra?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This would depend on several factors such as the composer, the era (when was the piece being performed was written), and where in the world the orchestra is located. That being said, you will typically find 10-14 in most orchestras.

Check out this interactive tool from the Dallas Symphony to see how this part of the orchestra has evolved (and grown) over time.
