Sir Albert Einstein's mother was the one who tried to get him to play the violin. I play the violin and I am very good at Science, the two go together in intelligence and consentration and theory. His mother thought he was mentally retarded so she tried to get him to play the violin to share a normal hobby as alot of children played the violin in the 19th century in Germany. Albert enjoyed playing Bach and Mozart as a child, I am not sure he went far in it as an adult, but he did have a club as an adolesence in which he would play violin to his friends. So this is why Albert Enstein played the violin.
***I would like to correct some information that was listed here. Albert Einstein did indeed play the violin. However, it was the school teachers who told Einstein's parents that he was "too stupid to learn". Albert's mother then had him begin violin lessons. He did continue to play up to and throughout his adult years. Below is an excellent link about not only Einstein but also the affects of music and the brain.
