Is a piano score readable by violin players?
Yes, a piano score can be readable by violin players. While the piano score is written in two staves for both hands, violin players can read the treble clef staff, which corresponds to the notes they play on the violin. They may need to transpose the notes by an octave to match the higher pitch of the violin, but the rhythm and phrasing can be easily understood from the piano score. In addition, some advanced violin players may even read the bass clef staff to understand the overall harmonic context.
