This piece for violin is in the key of Eb major. The

The violin is a string instrument, with four strings
tuned in perfect fifths. Of the four instruments in the
violin family; the violin, viola, cello and doublebass;
the violin is the smallest and the highest pitched
member. This instrument is also known as the fiddle.
Violins are played by drawing a bow across one or more
of its strings, while different pitches are produced by
the string(s) being stopped by the other hand. Other
techniques such as plucking are also employed.
The name is derived from the Medieval Latin word
"vitula", meaning stringed instrument - it is believed
that this is also the origin of the Germanic word
"fiddle". Most of the modern characterists of the
violin were developed in 16th-century Italy, but the
instrument has its earliest origins in Asia where
Turkic and Mongolian horsemen played instruments with
bows and strings made of horsehair. Someone who plays
the violin is known as a violinist or a fiddler. Today
violinists can be found in a wide variety of musical
genres including classical, jazz, folk music and rock
'n roll.
