Why are most cellos played by women? And violins are mostly male players?
In fact, playing violin or cello depends on talent first, and has nothing to do with gender. The fact is that in the past, western orchestras banned female performers, not because of gender discrimination, but because of the convenience of work. The reason is that women's participation in male-dominated bands will distract male players, and there will be such needs and problems (which may include jealousy caused by women) after men and women cooperate. In symphony performance, it is necessary to pay attention to the player's high concentration on music and the high unity of musical inspiration. Second, there are indeed differences in the understanding of music between men and women, and sometimes the differences are quite large. This may be why the greatest and most accomplished musicians in the world are all men, and performers are no exception. For example, I can guess whether 90% of the players are male or female without watching the video.

But today, it is an indisputable fact that there are more and more female violin/cello players. As for the soloists we saw, women accounted for a large proportion, which is totally coincidental. Just forget it.
