William Primrose
The viola player William Primrose studied the violin in his native city of Glasgow, in London, and in Belgium with Eugène Ysaÿe, who advised him to turn instead to the viola. He played in the London Quartet and then in the NBC Symphony Orchestra, during which time he established his own quartet. He then proceeded to a solo career, and several important composers (such as Bartók, Britten, Milhaud and Rochberg) wrote works for him.
