Typically the highest part, and mainly the Melody. Sometimes the harder part of the violin sections {There is usually first and second violins, maybe a 3rd violin section as well.}

What is the difference between first and second violins?

First violins usually play the melody. They also have notes higher on the fingerboard. Firsts may be more experienced violinists used to playing a larger range of notes. Seconds play alot of the harmony. It is most common to hear them playing lower notes than the first violins. But don't think their harmony is not important, because it is! Both sections contribute to the beauty of the orchesta music.
