The Strings
classical music? sorry couldn't resist :)
well there were no acoustics in the time of mozart and beethoven so guitar and cello were not likely to be used. violins were not used as much as they sound they were because they were only used for higher pitched purposes. also flute has only been used in orchestra about 7 times
I believe the most single difference between the two is the size. In many instances, a city, etc will board two groups usually made up of many of the same number. In the "old": days because of economical constraints, the smaller group was thought to play somewhat lighter classics, [and] probably would not attempt "The Ting" (Wagner, Beethoven's 9th.) Today I think probably the line is more vague, or perhaps on (the smaller) would perhaps more light classical, if not downright parochial. {one amateurish explanation!} Different answer than from above: It's pretty simple, the classical orchestra was the orchestra during the classical period, i.e the later 1700s, the time of Mozart, Haydn and the like. The orchestras consisted of strings, simple brass instruments like the the natural trumpet and the slide trombone, clarinets, flutes, bassoon sometimes. The percussion section was pretty much just Timpani. As time has moved on the orchestra has had things added. The horn in the 1800s, various percussion instruments etc. What you have to remember was that the strings during the classical period were the main orchestra and the winds were there for colour, whereas when we move on to the romantic period colour became much more important and in a lot of modern music, tone colour and sound is more important than melody and harmony in the classical sense.
A Standard orchestra but with only one instrument of each instrument
Instruments have been added to the orchestra over centuries, with significant expansions occurring during the Baroque period (1600-1750) when strings and woodwinds became standard. The Classical period (1750-1820) saw the introduction of brass instruments and percussion, enhancing the orchestra's range and depth. The Romantic period (19th century) further expanded the orchestra with more diverse instruments and larger ensembles, establishing the modern symphony orchestra we recognize today. Each era contributed to the evolving sound and complexity of orchestral music.

The orchestra ensemble in a classical music performance plays a crucial role by providing the instrumental accompaniment for the music being performed. They bring together a variety of instruments to create a rich and harmonious sound that enhances the overall musical experience for the audience.
the trumpet has been known to have a classical sound, and a jazz sound
The key difference between a symphony and a concerto in classical music is that a symphony is a large orchestral composition typically consisting of multiple movements played by the entire orchestra, while a concerto is a composition that features a solo instrument accompanied by an orchestra. In a concerto, the soloist often takes on a more prominent role, showcasing their virtuosity and musical skill, while in a symphony, the focus is on the collective sound and interplay of the entire orchestra.
It varies depending on the size of the orchestra. The sound must be balanced.
The main difference between band and orchestra instruments is the type of music they typically play. Band instruments are often used in marching bands and concert bands, playing a variety of music genres. Orchestra instruments are used in symphony orchestras, playing classical music. Additionally, band instruments usually have a brighter sound and are often made of brass or woodwind materials, while orchestra instruments have a more mellow sound and include strings like violins and cellos.

The orchestra is 10 times louder than the soloist because each increase of 10 decibels corresponds to a tenfold increase in sound intensity.
the other day i went to listen to a beautiful sound or the orchestra.I played in a orchestra the other day
