What an interesting discussion!

When I started with Earl Handlon as my teacher, the first thing he had me do was long tones every lesson. These were starting on a low note, such as E, for 8 counts then pressing the register key for 8 counts playing the 12th. Earl Handlon was Marcellus' teacher for a few years.

Also, when I started studying with Mitchell Lurie, one of the first things he showed me was the practice of long tones counting slow from 1 to 9 to 1 going from pp to ff to pp. This was a basic of Marcel Tabuteau's method for teaching the oboe and can be heard today in the CD of him teaching the oboe after he retired. Lurie spent an extra year at Curtis so that he could learn from Tabuteau.

The Robert Spring long tones taken to the highest C build the embouchure for playing the top octave notes.

One can also comment on the De La Sonorite flute book by Moyse which mostly consists of long tones. Together with the Taffanel and Gaubert flute method book, it forms the basis for modern flute playing. Galway will attest to the value of long tones. Page 46 in T and G is all long tones for practice.

Good Wishes and Good Reeds to all!
