violin solo
Fiddler's spotlight moment
A violin solo is a passage or entire piece performed by a single violinist, either unaccompanied or with the orchestra silent while the soloist plays.
In orchestral works, the solo violin emerges from the ensemble for featured moments: The second movement opens with a haunting violin solo.
A violin solo can also be a standalone recital piece.
