Violinists play for all 2 hours of a 2-hour-long concert but the bits they get are all background bits Trombonists play about 5 minutes of a 2-hour-long concert but the one bit they do get is the coolest bit.

Nobody knows how to write for a string section or single strings player, much less play music with them in a band.

Which is perhaps one reason why I have only ever wanted to play second violin! I just love it--I don't think about the reasons. I never wanted to play melody. I never wanted to have a solo (even with a violin section). And I never did, by choice, as a second violin! We have to play repetitive notes sometimes, the same two notes in the same eight-note rhythm for a whole page. Sometimes we get a part that's interesting, enjoyable, and occasionally audible! But it all matters! And I love it. Unfortunately, first violins are considered "better." At least among students. True and loyal second violins don't want to switch as soon as they're deemed worthy to be first! 😂 (kidding, kidding, don't worry! It just made me proud, growing up, to know there were fewer people who knew that second violin matters.)

Ein Heldenleben by Strauss (Des Helden Walstatt) One of my favourite works of Strauss! I'd recommend you to listen to the version of Strauss himself conducting Vienna Philharmonics. It's obviously an old recording so it lags a bit in terms of sound quality but imo it's still by far the best. You can even clearly hear the strings at the part of the video :D

Would be interesting to hear the song with each instrument dropping out to see what the difference would be. Kind of like making soup without the salt...you don't see it, but if it isn't there, it just isn't as good.

I'm a violaist not a violinist and let me tell you, I FEEL THIS. We never have anything good its all crazy notes for nothing. Its even like that in just string orchestras. One time we had to play a song and everyone got nice sheet music except for the violas. What did we get? Hand written notes that were so bad it was almost unreadable. For MONTHS none of the violas could figure out our part cause the note rhythm made no sense in the song, turns out the "rest notes" were supposed to be sharps....

Can't believe the most privileged instrument in the orchestra is complaining. At least you ain't the timpani in a Beethoven symphony playing 2 notes, or the trombone waiting 50 minutes in Bruckner to play the climax. 💀
