Violent Viola is a collection which covers an eclectic range of works that feature the viola. Represented are eleven scores from ten composers. They date from the 16th century with two works by John Dowland, through to the 20th century with works from Kodaly and Britten. Three of the compositions were originally scored for violin and piano and have been adapted for the viola and piano. Also included is Apituley’s own brief composition Pizzicato for viola quartet.

Esther Apituley was born in Amsterdam. She started playing the violin at the age of twelve, soon switching to the viola. After graduating from the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory, she took lessons at the Hochschule Für Musik in Berlin. During the early years of her studies, she was also active as a singer and saxophonist in the field of light music. She currently teaches viola at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory.
