Focus behaviour
The behaviour is violin playing. The person displaying this behaviour rests the violin under his chin
with his left hand. In his right hand he holds a bow. In playing the violin, he draws the bow back and
forth across the violins strings while his left hand moves up and down the violins neck, allowing his
fingers to sound notes. The person spends a lot of time playing the violin. He makes no income from
playing; he says he does it just because he loves it.
