What is your favorite orchestral wind instrument ?

[Benjy]

For me, it`s the horn or French horn (especially when playing in an orchestra). I like its use most in the 19th century symphonies and piano concertos. It has some great moments, for example, in Bruckner`s 4th symphony.

I'll go with Crime and Punishment.
