Who is playing the First Violin?
Anders from Sweden said Copenhagen is a hanseatic city and just like Hamburg or Bremen mercantile and burgeois to the core. He pointed out funny references to the type of music that was typical for the 19th century in Copenhagen like music of the Bach sons, Johann Christian etc.. Apparently in middle class houses the purpose of practicing chamber music on a regular basis was to find the best husband for the daughters. So the father played the second violin in the string quartett because he did not have time to practice, the daughter played the cello to proove that she was capable of being a good supporting mother and the eager aspirant had to play – guess - the first violin to show his talent in mastering the hard work. Anders also said that piano music for four hands was mainly composed to observe whether the future couple would work well together... I asked if that was an assumption and he said it was a given fact.
