    Flight of the Bumblebee's traditional instrument?

    I'd think it's usually played on piano or violin, but which of the two was it originally played on? Or was it just an orchestra?

    Thought it was violin but I don't know for sure.

          Uhh...

          "Although the original orchestral version mercifully assigns portions of the sixteenth-note runs to various instruments in tandem, in the century since its composition the piece has become a standard showcase for solo instrumental virtuosity, whether on the original violin or on practically any other melodic instrument."
