I cannot see much reason to use an assistant for an orchestra of this
size, but there are some pieces:
R.Strauss Tone Poems as Don Juan, Dox Quixotte, Beethovens No.9
Symphony, some other demanding pieces. The criteria might be the
requested "endurance". Sometimes it would be wise to divide a program
instead doubling the first part, but using the assistant has the
advantage, that both players have studied the program & it would not be
a disaster if one becomes ill on the performance day.
