This market is the noisiest and swarmiest centre of noisy and swarming Florence, and I always like to pass through it on that account.
1871, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Passages from the French and Italian note-books
For obvious reasons the percussion is normally arranged along the back of the platform, whether centrally or to one side, and sometimes also in two tiers, the heavy, noisier instruments behind, and the pitched, agile instruments such as vibraphone, marimba, etc. in front. An outstanding exception, however, exists in Roberto Gerhard's Epithalamion where the composer expressly desired that the all-important kitchen department be spread out in front of the strings and hence nearest the audience.
1981, Norman Del Mar, Anatomy of the Orchestra
