The sound is the art, the virtuosity is the skilled manual use of a
pre-industrial tool.

So, is the art the score or the sound that comes from the violin? If it 
is just the score, why do we need to play it? If it is the sound coming 
from the violin, the player interprets the score to produce the art, 
and is thusly an artist. Give the same score to several different 
violinists and you'll end up with several different pieces of music. 
The score just serves as a template for the musician to interpret.
