"I've not seen an orchestra recently which places the first violins to the left of the conductor and the second violins to the right..."Quite common in Europe, and even in San Francisco when Herbert Blomstedt comes to town. I suspect it's because that's the seating for the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig.
Seem to recall the Berlin Philharmonic uses the 'firsts' on the left and the 'seconds' on the right. Been a while since I heard them live in Berlin (with Abado).
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
