David Bruce Composer | history of the entire orchestra, I guess @DBruce | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Why is orchestra the way it is? Why are some instruments in and some instruments out? Where are the electric guitars, synthesisers, saxophones, accordions? Why are there so many violins; and who pays for it all? And why has the line up not changed for 100 years ? Has it reached some state of perfection or just a dead end? In short, what's the history of the orchestra, more or less?
