 Re: Optimal size of clarinet sections

The best sound one can get out of a large wind ensemble is one on a part. This enables everybody to be heard and to blend. On the odd occasion the parts split like in the clarinets or trumpets then 2 per part but no more. Wind bands get a bad rap because they are noisy, have no real tone colour etc. This is not true. The modern day wind band grew up from the the wind harmonie from the late 18th Century and I feel that the modern band should be treated in this way. Chamber music on a bigger scale.
