The String Family
VIOLIN
The Violin is the soprano voice of the string family. Unlike the other instruments, it has an E-string and a very high pitch range.
Due to its size and notational range, composers have long created technically difficult works featuring the violin. Some of the most virtuosic music has been composed for the violin. Therefore, the instrument has the most diverse and extensive repertoire list. It often receives the melody line in orchestral and chamber works.
Violin is found in all genres across many cultures in the world.
