Now, there is a certain popular song by Metallica where *gasp* there are only 2 guitars that have the same timbre playing for the bulk of the song (Master of Puppets). However, this is considered completely enjoyable and interesting. Or how about a saxophone quartet? Or a solo? Not trying to flame, just trying to get you to think, to redefine your limits a bit, if not get rid of them.

no offense but that's a horrible analogy. 2 guitarists in a rock band is hardly an abberation of the genre - it's the standard. not to mention that my oboe comment was a joke. the idea of composing a piece for 20 oboes is completely absurd, which is the point i was trying to make. oboes have a nasally duck tone that, when multiplied 20 times... <cringe>
