Gordon Jacob
Gordon Jacob delighted in adding new repertoire to those areas of the musical literature previously ignored by other composers. The viola, the ‘Cinderella’ of the string family, particularly benefited from his far-sighted devotion to its cause. Taking up the challenge of violin and viola duet with characteristic boldness and craftsmanly art, Jacob established a contemporary yet tuneful idiom for the two players.
