Violin Notes (Western Classical)

The violin plays a profound role in chamber music, orchestral music, opera, ballet, and the solo repertoire. Orchestral scores are written with violin sections one and two; the classical quartet has two violins (and one viola and one cello). The first chair, first violin in an orchestra (called concertmaster, even if female) plays a key leadership role in the group, secondary only to the conductor, and works with the principle players who sit first chair in the second violin, viola, cello and bass sections.
