Why are brass instruments in the back of an orchestra?
There are a number of reasons for this. the first and main is so that the rest of the orchestra can hear them properly. the second is because they could block the rest of the orchestra from the audience if they were in the front, as they take up a lot of room. this could stop all of the sound getting through, and make the rest of the orchestra harder to see. There are other reasons as well

What is the process involved in creating an orchestra arrangement of instruments for a musical composition?
Creating an orchestra arrangement for a musical composition involves selecting which instruments will play which parts of the music, determining the specific notes and rhythms each instrument will play, and arranging the parts in a way that creates a cohesive and harmonious sound when played together. This process requires knowledge of each instrument's capabilities and how they can work together to bring the composer's vision to life.
What are the different types of music instruments available?
There are four main types of musical instruments: string instruments (like guitars and violins), wind instruments (such as flutes and trumpets), percussion instruments (like drums and cymbals), and keyboard instruments (such as pianos and organs). Each type produces sound in a unique way and offers a wide range of musical possibilities.

How have ochestras developed?
Orchestras began to exist in the late renaissance/early baroque period. At first the orchestra was made up of the instruments you happened to have available in your town, and scores for the orchestra was not written for specific instruments. Instead the composers at that time wrote different parts and then handed them out to suitable instruments "on the spot". In the 18th century notable improvements were made to the woodwind instruments so they could play more notes, but it was not until the 19th century that they were more or less made the way they are today. The brass instruments had a very limited number of tones they could play up until the 19th century when inventors came up with the idea of valves, letting them play all tones. It was not until the end of the 19th century that musicians and composers accepted this however since they believed the sound of the "natural" brass instruments were superior. The string instruments were improved (some instruments such as the viola da gamba was used but later abandoned in the orchestra) and "perfected" around the 17th century. The way today's orchestras have their string sections was standardized around the late 18th century, but it took until about the end of the 19th century before you could say there was a standard number of string musicians in every orchestra. During the 19th century the orchestra was constantly growing and instrument makers made instruments to play both higher and lower tones. This was partly because composers like Hector Berlioz and Richard Wagner demanded bigger orchestras and wider ranges in their music, but also because instrument makers were creative and frequently came up with new inventions.
How did the classical orchestra change from the Baroque Era?
The orchestra saw a complete upheaval in the Classical period. Here are what I think would be the three most important: Firstly, conductors got off their harpsichords and began conducting in the modern style with a stick. Before that, they simply outlined the tune and held the timing together with a continuo. Next, the instrumentation changed. Recorders fell out of use, being replaced by the modern transverse flute. Clarinets were also first introduced to the orchestra in this time. Finally, the locations and sizes of orchestra began to change. They moved out of courts and private locations where they were restricted in size and grew into much larger orchestras, suited for opera houses and concert halls.
What brass instruments are part of a symphony orchestra?
Brass instruments vary from orchestra to orchestra. Almost all orchestras have about four trumpets, three trombones, and four French horns. These numbers are approximate, and these players have harmony or counter-melody parts in comparison with the strings. Many orchestras will have a tuba on a part similar to the double bass. Some will have a euphonium or a baritone, but they generally play the Trombone part anyway. Orchestras pretty much never have flugelhorns or mellophones. Even though it's technically a woodwind, they also usually lack saxophones.
