Beethoven 9th asks the choir basses to sing a "top D" and that I can confirm is decidedly painful at modern concert pitch. At early 19th-C chorton it was hopefully a bit easier. Trained good singers can manage it, but (without going falsetto) it still does not come especially recommended!
Yes, but mostly the bottom note is an A, with only once a G. And when you get to the important fortissimo top Es and Fs, do you leave them to the Tenors?
