Un interesse innovativo, quello di Borghi per la Viola. Nel suo adattamento della parte affidata in origine al violoncello, il compositore mette in risalto tutte le potenzialit\u00e0 dello strumento, non lesinando mai nei passaggi virtuosistici e conferendo alla parte un ruolo di protagonista al pari del violino e non di riempitivo orchestrale.<\/p>\n
Of note is Borghi\u2019s writing for the viola. In his adaptation of the part originally conceived for the \u2018cello, he emphasises all of the potential of the instrument, retaining virtuoso passages and making the viola an equal partner with the violin, not just taking the role of an orchestral \u2018filler\u2019.<\/p>\n
