Why does the Viola never get any big parts?

Hi. I have also been playing viola for six years and we do get some big parts. it just depends on the pieces your teacher provides. We get beautiful melodies in October by Eric Whitacre as well as in Wild's Gallop which i forgot the composer but here is a video:a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Md5ewF81o." rel="nofollow"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Md5ewF8…/a Overall it really depends on the piece. Some composers also recognize your thoughts and we can get some good parts sometimes.
