Question:

What's meaning of violin 3 section?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

In an orchestra, each instrument has a "section". Violin section, cello section, flute section, trombone section, etc.

For the instruments that there are a lot of (like violins), there will be more than one part written (there will be different music for each violin player, as many as four different parts). Violin 3 section means the violin players that play the third version of the music. (There are multiple parts so that different players play different notes, creating harmonies.)
