George asks…
What are the names of the violinist and pianist?
The violinist is Caucasian and the pianist is Asian. They perform kind of a goofy act, but they are both very talented. They have some videos on youtube, but I cannot remember either of their names. In one of the videos the violinist is in just a suit jacket and boxers if that helps.

Lisa asks…
can I become a professional violinist if I start playing the violin now?
I am 12,and I have always loved the violin. I am getting one this weekend and I was wondering if I become a violinist if I keep playing?
AnswerBot answers:
You could be one even if you started at 30 point being that you have to stay focus practice & never give up no matter how frustrating out of reach or hard it gets. Its all about commitment and with the right help & teacher anything is posible we might be seeing you on stage or in an opera or play maybe even a music video. Any thing is possible with the right focus 
. Dont listen to anyone but your heart if you think & believe it can come true if not you’ll still have a wonderful hobbie & still. It can help you with stress & patiences not to mention timing & commitment. Again even if a few months or years down the road you change your mind which happens sometimes it will give you skills that can still last a lifetime & apply to other areas of your life. Good luck.
Joseph asks…
What is it called when a violinist plays at a cheesy romantic dinner?
like what is the violinist man called? or does the act of playing the violin at that sort of occasion have a certain name?
AnswerBot answers:
The act is called a serenade. The performer is called a performer, musician, violinist, or soloist. If the music is general and on-going, it’s just another form of entertainment.
John asks…
What does it take to be an improvisatory violinist?
I want to create an improv violin major at our school but what classes should I take? How does one get work being an improv violinist? Any tips youc an give me?
Please, legitament awnsers only. I report.
AnswerBot answers:
You could work through the jazz department for improv info. For other kinds of improv (new age music, ethno-stuff, etc.) you could go through the ethno department or the composition department or the theory department, combining with the jazz area….
I guess creating the major would depend on your school. And you can learn from improv teachers on other instruments too.
Paul asks…
Is it possible to tell on the radio whether the violinist is playing on a Stradivarius violin?
I wonder if it’s possible to tell by listening on the radio whether the solo violinist is playing on a Stradivarius violin or not. I think it’s possible to tell by the slight scratchy sound the bow makes when the violinist is “digging in.” I think the term is “schtick” or something like that. Is this true, or do all successful concert violinists who make recordings have access to a Strad (either own or can borrow one) when they need one? Thanks.
AnswerBot answers:
It’s probably not possible to tell the top violins apart even in real life. There have been several blind tests where even professional violinists cannot distinguish between a Strad and another well-made violin. So from a purely scientific point of view, it is unlikely that you’d be able to identify a Strad when you hear it on a radio program.
However, you might be able to recognize the context on a subconscious or subconscious level. For example, violinists rarely use a Strad to play Baroque music like Vivaldi. But the top violinists would most likely use a Strad when they are recording one of the most popular concertos like Bruch, Beethoven, or Tchaikowsky.
So you might well be able to recognize a violinist using a Strad, but it would most likely be because you recognize the music (certain violin concerto, maybe) rather than the limited quality of the sound you hear through the radio or off a CD.
