RE: Question

Interesting excerpt; thanks for sharing. In the interest of thoroughness and balance (pun intended) it should be pointed out that doubling of individual orchestral parts, unless indicated in the score, can rightfully be considered taking excessive "artistic license" even if the effect is subjectively "better" as concerns dynamic balance. If, for instance, a fff string passage is drowning out the winds in, say, a Mahler symphony, an argument can be made for, instead of doubling the wind parts, to have the strings play less. I am not opposed to the idea in principle, but second guessing a composer's intentions is always a fine line to walk.
