The first violin and second violin are the same instruments. In an ensemble (orchestra, symphony, ect.) the first violin plays the higher part and the melody, while the second violin plays the lower part or the harmony. There is sometimes also a third violin, which plays the lower part along with the second violin, and this can go on and on. (4th, 5th, 6th) One common misconception is that the first violin plays the harder part, but this is not always true. The violins playing the harmony might have a harder time supporting the first violins.
