The main purpouse of the cello is to support violins with bass sounds or a secodary melody. The cello was given more of a secondary role in orchestral playing until Antonio Dvorak gave the cello a important role in orchestra.
Early cellists were not able to show the expressive qualities that modern day cellists are able to convey. Part of the reason for this is that the cello strings were made out of gut instead of steel.
