David Dalton, a retired professor of music at BYU who was one of the world’s greatest champions of the viola, has died from natural causes. He was 89.
, professor at The Juilliard School and a longtime friend, said, “what David did with starting the Primrose archives at BYU was one of the most incredible things that has happened for the instrument. [BYU] is the epicenter of all things viola because of David Dalton. Every violist should be thankful for his vision and drive.”
Claudine Bigelow, a professor of viola at BYU and a member of the Deseret String Quartet, called Dalton — her predecessor as head of viola studies at BYU — a “rigorous” mentor, but such rigor paid off. Dalton studied violin at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., receiving both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in the instrument. It was Primrose’s tutelage at Indiana University that convinced Dalton to switch to the slightly larger instrument, the viola.
Dalton’s passion for the viola took him around the world, his daughter Melissa said. When he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1954 to 1957 in post-war Germany, he was asked to bring his instrument along — something his wife, Donna, said was unheard of at the time.
Dalton went on to study at Vienna’s Akademie der Musik and Munich’s Hochschule für Musik. He received his doctorate at Indiana University, studying under Primrose.
