So to be on the 20th C list you have to be dead, right?? I was a little confused by this, it's not that long ago ... :) Nevilley 11:09 Mar 1, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's a very useful distinction. I'm going to merge the two into one. --Camembert

Excellent composer-violinists

"Composer-violinists were common in the Baroque era - all played the violin excellently." Is it just me, or does this read a little OTT? Nevilley 10:58, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

No response to this. I am removing the phrase and hope that this is OK, or that someone will defend it or suggest a form of wording which works better. Nevilley 09:23, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Violin Hickey

"Sometimes violinists can be identified by a red fleck on the left side of their neck, commonly known as the violin hickey."

Is this really important enough to have in this article? As well, it sounds odd to say they can be "identifed" by these.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Acuzzort (talkcontribs)

Yes, I think it's important enough to have it in the article. Maybe not the identified part, but...oh well. (Wish I was on the list of violinists! ;)--ViolinGirl 18:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More Info

I was doing some coarse work on a violinist and on most other things this sight has been very good but i thought maybe it should have a bit more information on say the roles of a violinist or just more information in general.

Umm... shouldn't the example be someone better known than a random up-and-coming violinist? Can this please be changed to someone of the stature of Jascha Heiftz, Perlman, or Joshua Bell? ~Vivalatosca
