One thing that bothers me, which I see from time to time, is an assumption that a person who was taught to play violin, in orchestra, etc., has no feeling for the music. As though they are all just automatons. That is erroneous...just as there can be a feeling of great camaraderie etc. in a session when everyone joins in and the bits go together so well, so can that feeling be felt when a symphony orchestra joins together to express something beautiful, powerful, moving, etc. There are some violinists who are so passionate you will see them sway, sit taller, or stand taller if they are a soloist, along with the movement of the music, their whole bodies are into it as well as their spirit and mind.
