| | Violin concerto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A violin concerto is a concerto for solo violin (occasionally, two or more violins) and instrumental ensemble, customarily orchestra. | | | In some violin concertos, especially from the Baroque and modern eras, the violin (or group of violins) is accompanied by a chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra—for instance, Vivaldi's L'estro armonico, originally scored for four violins, two violas, cello, and continuo, and Allan Pettersson's first concerto, for violin and string quartet. | | | The big list of violin concertos has been moved to List of compositions for violin and orchestra. |

| | The Violin Octet is a consort of violin-family instruments of graduated sizes, one at each half octave, from a seven-foot contrabass to a tiny treble violin tuned an octave above the standard violin. | | | Augmenting the violin, the new set would create a consort of eight acoustically matched violins. | | | The Violin Octet instruments are capable of producing the acoustic qualities needed for music in the 21st century; increased string power, wider dynamics, extended frequency ranges, enhanced pizzicatos, and tonal combinations never before heard that span the range of written music. |

| | The violin is tuned (from low to high) G D A E. The A is usually 440 hertz (415 hertz for Baroque tuning). | | | The only difference between the violin and the "fiddle" is the style in which you play it, though many fiddlers will use a flatter (less curved) bridge and a few even tune the violin differently. | | | If your violin is less than full size, you can measure whether or not you are ready for the next larger size by placing the violin on your shoulder just as you would play it and reaching with your fingers around the scroll. |

| | Are the violin and the fiddle the same instrument? | | | While, oddly enough, the question of refitting the violin comes up rather often, this is, naturally, a separate issue from someone who is merely left-handed and wants to study the violin with a traditional hold. | | | However, you hear violinists of the highest calibre, like Stern and Perlman, for example, referring to the violin as a fiddle...but their cultural context is Eastern European, which included gypsy-like so-called "fiddle" music, which is not the same at all as the American genre. |
