china (asker): 10:04am Mar 9, 2004: Em PT, poder-se-ia dizer 1º violino? -
Lumen: 10:34am Mar 9, 2004: Não. Primeiro(s) violinos(s) são todos os que se assentam à esquerda do maestro. Dependendo da orquestra há vários. Orquestra pequenas têm entre 4 a 6 primeiros violinos. O spalla é o primeiro dentre os primeiros violinos. E ser spalla não é cargo. -

What is a concertmaster? What are his/her duties?

The concertmaster is the lead violinist. As the violinist with the highest \"rank\" s/he sits in the first chair, right next to the conductor\'s podium. The concertmaster leads the orchestra in its tuning prior to the concert, and customarily plays all of the violin solos within pieces. In addition, the concertmaster marks the orchestra\'s scores with the appropriate bowings - so all the violinists are moving and playing in unison. The Peoria Symphony\'s Concertmaster is Marcia Henry.

spalla

Explanation:
Minha mãe foi a spalla da Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de Goiás. Trata-se de um/uma violinista, que se assenta à esquerda do mastro. Ele/ela ocupa a primeira cadeira dentre o naipe de primeiros violinos e, eventualmente, na ausência do mastro, assume seu lugar em ensaios ou até em apresentações, em casos extremos.
