Extra Information	The first violin part in the Rhapsodie seems reasonably virtuosic. Fortunately the most difficult-looking parts, for example the several bars of tuplet 16ths (and one bar ending with a 9:8 tuplet arpeggiated A major scale of 32nd notes) take place after tempo primo is regained. That said, the viola part in the Rhapsodie is extraordinary for its time. Forsyth, in the section on Viola in his book Orchestration, would have looked at Hollander's demands on the viola in the Rhapsodie and wondered if he had mistaken it for a third violin with extended lower range.
