Is there a difference between a violin and a recital violin?

What is the difference between violin 1 and violin 2?
Violin 1 and 2 are roughly equal sized sections of the orchestra, each made up of (usually) 12-16 violinists. The concertmaster (lead violinist) sits at the front of the first violins). The 1st violin section usually carries the melody, whereas the 2nd violins usually accompany. This is however not always the case. Sometimes the 2nd violins play the 1st violin part but one octave below. The relationship between the two sections varies from composer to composer. For example in Johann Strauss, the 2nd violins usually provide the waltz rhythm, and the 1st violins carry the melody. However in Elgar (for example), they are often on equal terms and a lot of role reversal occurs where the 2nds have the tune and 1sts accompany. A good concluding remark would be that there is no less a difference between the two sections than there is between strings and woodwind for example, except that they employ the same instrument.
