Bob,
Excellent advice and well put. It is best to be in agreement with the conductor too I would think. We are playing the Ives Variation on America and when the Tuba section takes up the melody in a minor tone we have found that spliting the part in octaves has added to the Russian esq Darkness and forlorn sound I think was intended. Our conductor thinks it works.
