Classic examples from the Western symphonic repertoire include: (1) the off= stage trumpet in Ludwig van Beethoven's Leonore Overtures Nos. 2 & 3, (2) t= he offstage oboe in the third movement ("Sc=E8ne aux champs") from Hector B= erlioz' Symphonie Fantastique, and (3) the offstage female choir in "Neptun= e" from Gustav Holst's The Planets. We would be very grateful for your kind help in drawing our attention to as= many other examples as possible that you may be aware of! Thanks in advance, Niels Chr. Hansen & David Huron Niels Chr.
