What is the main purpose of the passage?
Today’s symphony orchestra has its roots in 17th
century bands. The earliest orchestras, usually attached
to a church, or a theatre, varied in structure from place
to place. They were often directed from the keyboard or
by the principal violinist. During the 18th century, as
popular works such as those by Haydn and Mozart
began to be played all over Europe, some
standardization of the orchestra became necessary. A
string section comprising violins, violas, cellos, and
double basses was usually joined by two horns, two
flutes, two trumpets, and timpani. The clarinet became a
standard member of the orchestra only at the end of the
18th century. The 19th century saw the rise of public
concerts in large halls, which necessitated louder
instruments and larger orchestras. As a result,
instruments changed. They were redesigned and
adapted to enable them to project further. Larger and
smaller versions of some instruments, such as the
piccolo, cor anglais, and bass clarinet, were featured
more frequently. Some new instruments were also
added, with trombones and later, tubas becoming
standard members of the orchestra
