Answer :
The cello enters first, playing the B strain, followed by the violin and viola providing variations and harmony as the piece progresses. The strings, including the violin, viola, and cello, and woodwind instruments alternate leads, creating a rich and polyphonic texture.
The answer is option~A) Cello, followed by violin
The order in which the stringed instruments enter in the piece is as follows: First, the cello comes in playing the B strain. Then, there is a variation with the violin and the viola entering afterward. Initially, one violin is involved with the B strain while other instruments provide countermelodies, and then the two violins play a variation on the A strain together. Later, the two violins play the A strain in harmony, followed by the addition of cello harmony.
The piece features a cello that sounds one octave lower than the viola and is played vertically between the knees. The violin is the smallest modern string instrument playing in a high range and divided into first and second violins within an orchestra. The viola, larger than the violin, plays in a lower pitch and range, adding to the ensemble's rich timbre.
The answer is option~A) Cello, followed by violin
