Dave - You'll get better answers from our historians, not me, but didn't Wagner "force" the invention of a special-sized baritone-tuba brass horn for some of his early operas? Perhaps some of our pros who have played [early?] 1850-1900 opera, Wag, R Strauss, Verdi, Tschai etc can speak to composer "force" of low clars development, ext. bass or Contras to "bottom-out" powerful chords, in support of bassoons-tubas-string basses. ? My AM thots! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
