Good thinking! But I'm wondering whether putting career second
violinists suddenly on first violin for such an exposed movement is a
good idea?
Heh heh! I think we can safely leave that question up to the conductor
and the concert master, who have their own judgment about the relative
strengths and weaknesses of their sections (as bigoted and
politically-motivated as they may be...) 8-)
I suspect that the difference between a first and second violin is
perhaps not as marked as say, the difference between a first and 4th
horn, or a 1st and bass trombonist, who have made major equipment and
training adjustments.
