Violin is more difficult than Cello.

let's agree to disagree. (btw how did you do that bold O_o, im probably going to get raped on this debate..) anyways... (C1 Rebuttal)In C1 you have stated that the cello's shift "leave[s] more room for error" but this is the case for all instruments. Regardless of how big or small the gap, after an extended period of time in learning his or her instrument, they will know where the general finger position is. The main problem is how precise it is. Therefore despite the shifting length in the cello being greater in contrast to the violin. The way that the violin is more difficult is the tone. Why ? Because like I said in my previous statement, the low tone of the cello masks much of the "off-note" in comparison to the high note where it will be more noticeable. New point 1) Another reason that the cello is easier is because in this video --> ( ) the entire stairwell acts like one huge cello. The stairwell is something like the base of a cello and the stairwell masks all the impurities of the singer's voice. IN SIMILARITY, any mistakes that are procured by the cellist will be masked because of the reverberation of the huge instrument LIKE the stairwell. (C2 Rebuttal)You have stated that the cello has "kinetic restrictions", although the cello is indeed larger that the violin, MOST violinists and cellists will NOT go out in the middle of nowhere and start playing. For example, most concerts these days are sponsored by some facility even if it's a local and will more than likely have at least a chair or a rock to sit on. Thus your point of how the cello has "kinetic restrictions" is invalid. (C3 Rebuttal) Although I may not be a professional at cello, I know that the cellist must move their ENTIRE arm to get to their desired position when they have a really high position. Thus your statement of how the cellist has to "awkwardly rotate their hand so that their thumb is on the finger board" is invalid. In addition, although the cello must retain their "natural position" the violin in contrast must rotate their hand to a very unnatural position, such as 7th and 8th position . New point 2) here's a picture of how a violinist hold's their violin while playing: ( http://2.bp.blogspot.com... ) in this picture you can see that the violinist must strain their wrist by rotating it to get to the "normal postition" for the violin in contrast, here's a picture of how a cellist hold's their cello while playing ( http://www.clipartguide.com... ) although this is a clip are, you can see in the man's left arm, the position of his arm is more natural much similar to that of a handshake in where we experience it everyday, thus the position in holding the cello is much more simpler in contrast to the violin C4 Rebuttal) here's the music sheet for the twinkle little star on the cello, possibly one of the easiest songs. In this picture, you will realize that the highest note is on the the second measure (idk what the note is on treble cleff...anyways) and in this picture that is supposedly "difficult" the "highest" note is on the 3rd line, 1st measure. which is not that far off from the highest note in twinkle little star. If such a difficult song in concerto in D Minor has barely any higher notes than in the basic song of twinkle little star? New point 3) Here's a snippet of what I am playing after 12 years ( ) here you will notice that there are notes ranging from playing 1st position to 9th position in rapid continuity unlike the cello where most of the time they have a languid beat unlike this song. Although this song happens to be one of the faster songs, the violin must remain the same intensity throughout the piece which is much simpler on the cello for they have more reverberation.
