I heard from a source, (don't ask me where. I forgot.) that "anything written for the violin could sound equally pleasing and maybe even better on the flute.

Personally, I feel that there are few instruments with the expressiveness of the violin, viola, cello, or perhaps the oboe. It sounds like a flutist made the statement you are refering to. It is true that both instruments are C instruments and play the same note as written. String instruments have the ability to play more than one note at a time and often use many chords. Pieces such as these would be far less pleasing to the listener if played on flute which would have to arpegiate these chords to supply any harmony.

Well,I think both violin and flute sound wonderful,but it most likely depends on how experienced a player is on either instruments to really answer your question.
