Abstract

William Primrose, eminent performer, pedagogue, and proponent of the viola, spent his last few years at Brigham Young University. Mr. Primrose was a colleague and former teacher of David Dalton, who was at that time professor of viola at the university. Because of Primrose’s close connection to Dalton, Primrose bequeathed many of his personal viola-related materials to the university in order to from an archive. This archive, named the Primrose International Viola Archive (or PIVA), is now the largest and most complete of its kind. It contains scores, recordings, memorabilia, and instructional materials relating to the viola.
