Hi Dave.....

Good to see you also......

I think your points are right on the money.  Although Erik Leidzen did use
sfp a fair amount, I always thought that was more of a trademark of Emil
Soderstrom.  Leidzen's use of low brass... open 5ths.... melodies in tubas
etc.
were all innovative at the time...  I feel the same way about Vinter.  Those
two
guys could get more sound out of a band....

I totally agree about Leidzen writing for "pro" sounds.  There were a lot
of bands that couldn't handle his music just for the reasons you give....
but
Leidzen in the hands of a good conductor and a solid band ...was pure
heaven...

Leidzen was also a master at writing solo accompaniments as I'm sure you
will agree.  Of course the solo writing was great too... That's a special
talent.....

"immense colour and interest to the music"  that's where it's at.

Thanks for adding to the discussion.....

Best regards and Happy Holidays to you as well.

Mark
