        The principal member of the first violin section; generally the most skilled violinist in any given orchestra. While technically only in charge of the first violin section, they often make [executive decisions] in regard to bowings and phrasing for the entire orchestra. They especially enjoy [lording] over the second violin section.
        A great source of insecurity and angst for all concertmasters is the fact that they just werent good enough to make it as soloists. Their oversized egos to compensate for the fact that theyre really just failures inside, always looking up at what could have been if their playing was better.
        While the term concertmaster is generally seen as gender-neutral, the term [concertmistress] is occasionally used for females occupying this role.
