Why is orchestra the way it is? Why are some instruments in and some instruments out? Where are the electric guitars, synthesisers, saxophones, accordions? Why are there so many violins; and who pays for it all? And why has the line up not changed for 100 years ? Has it reached some state of perfection or just a dead end? In short, what's the history of the orchestra, more or less?
