>> Yes, lots of contemporary stuff gets up to the super-high C, C# and D. My own compositions go as high as G (four leger lines 8va) and Ab. It's actually a pretty amazing sound up there! <<

I think you replied to me and misunderstood my question by an octave (unless I misunderstood your answer by an octave).

I assume that by super high C you mean above 5 ledger lines? That is four octaves (on a low C bass). I've heard and played this C and up to about the D above it pretty often. A lot less often but same for around F# above that (octave above altissimo F#).

That is still not what I would consider about five octaves. I'm not skeptical, just curious if any piece actually has about five octaves written range (let's say up to Bb an octave above altissimo Bb or higher)? Not that it's necessarily a good piece or that the high notes make sense in that context (though they definitely could). I've both heard and played higher than that (i.e. the high F#), but not any note that is written specifically.
