Walter Steinbaum Well, i think if composer say “This is symphony.” It’s symphony. Imagine the Beethoven’s Symphony No.9. It’s written for orchestra and choral. You say this is not symphony? Well, there are lots of symphony written for winds, like Richard Strauss, Paul Fauchet, Hector Berlioz, Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud, Paul Hindemith, Morton Gould, Vincent Persichetti and so on!
