I'd agree with most of the points made. Third might have more
interesting parts, even though I prefer the low stuff and the greater
overall range written for 2nd.
But I would want to know how they assign parts when there are only two
horns. In my community group, we try to even out playing time/number
of pieces where there are two horns, both for fun and equality, and to
save a bit of the principal's lip. For us, this commonly shakes out
pairing 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th, so the third usually plays the first parts
on some pieces with only two horns. Perhaps how they handle it could
be a factor.
