The symphony orchestra is an ingenious, intricate, and elegant invention, extravagant almost to the point of being wasteful, and absolutely worth it.
Orchestral music is one of the last forms that must be experienced live, in concert, with decent acoustics, making it essential to attend performances.
The typical string complement in an orchestra includes 16 first violins, 14 second violins, and various violas, cellos, and basses, totaling around sixty players.
The sheer number of highly skilled musicians is what elevates orchestral performances, as they create a complex, rich sound that cannot be replicated through recordings.
