RE: what's life without a stomach. My husband had his stomach removed 2 years ago and is doing fine. Food with sugar he should stay away from as many food will cause dumping. You can make things with splenda or like I make banana bread and the such with 1/2 cup sugar and the same of splenda. Dairy products do not work at all for people without a stomach. Cheese is the exception as it binds.
In 1784 Haydn received a commission to write six symphonies from the directors of the Concert de la Loge Olympique, the largest concert-giving organization in Paris. In the Symphonies Nos. 82-87, known ever since as the Paris Symphonies, one senses a greater depth and breadth of musical substance.
Well, it depends on the symphony itself. Here's a symphony by W.A. Mozart which calls for relatively small forces. Symphonies never have singers or a choir, except of course, when they do. Beethoven started it by putting a choir and four soloists in the last movement of his Ninth Symphony in 1824. Since then, a few composers have called for choirs in the symphony to communicate text, though it is not common. Over time, the symphony grew in size to become an epic dramatic expression.
