No wonder I like his music so much. I hesitate to suggest that if Berlioz
and Tchaikovsky had had mature brass bands at their disposal they would
have chucked orchestras and composed mostly for brass bands :-).

 Of course the original score of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsy's 1812 overture is
scored for band (Military OR Brass) and modified orchestra including
2cornets and 2Eb trumpets. How often is this favorite played with the
original scoring I wonder? Every year the Sydney Symphony Orchestra play
this piece in an open air Concert, but never with a band as Tchaikovsky
intended.
