The type of source material represented in this bibliography includes books, sections of books, encyclopedia articles, periodical articles, serials, dissertations, theses, treatises, and unpublished works. The sources date from the earliest extant findings through 1986. The majority of the sources are in English although many European language sources are included. / The bibliography contains chapters on the following subject categories: (1) literature on the history of the viola and its repertoire, (2) bibliographies of compositions for viola, (3) analyses of compositions for viola, (4) literature on viola pedagogy, (5) literature on notable violists, (6) literature on the construction and acoustics of the viola, and (7) miscellaneous. Entries that apply to more than one category are listed in each appropriate section of the bibliography and have a cross reference to the location of the annotated reference. / The annotations describe the subject matter and comprehensiveness of the entry material. The few sources which are not annotated list the reference which identified or referred to that particular source. / The final chapter presents a summary discussion of the status of viola research in the areas noted by each chapter heading of the treatise and lists recommendations for further research. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-06, Section: A, page: 1307. / Major Professor: Jon R.
