Indeed I do. I've played piano since I was seven. I also enjoy singing and have even had the privilege to take private lessons recently, which I enjoy thoroughly.

What sort of music is your favorite to perform? I enjoy romantic period pieces quite a bit.

Also: You mentioned the tone quality of the viola. I assume then that you've heard Hector Berlioz's Harold in Italy, in which Berlioz makes wonderful use of the viola's tone. I love Berlioz's music.

I really enjoy just sitting down and playing the piano as well, when I get the chance or if no one is around for me to bother. I would say my favorite pieces to perform would probably be from the Romantic period, too--in orchestra we played Dvorak's 9th Symphony, Beethoven's 5th, some Wagner, etc. and all were really exciting to be able to perform. I also like the Baroque/ Classical period, too, anything with fast stuff in it, or cowboy/ hoedown music (a nice break from all the high-pressure classical literature!). Actually, I can't say that I have heard the Berlioz piece that you mentioned, or I might have heard it and not known what it was. I'll have to find a recording of it!
