It would be interesting to know where it turned up first, and when. ( Octotonic=Diminished Scale )
Sugar Plum has some amazing harmony, and in the 2nd section, the Bass Clarinet has a chromatic scale that that just slices right through the harmony, really cool.
Tchaik influenced Stravinsky, and one thing he did that Stravinsky did was to cross the 1st and 2nd winds at times.
Makes things more interesting for the 2nd players.
Hey, I only played Nut 30 or more times a year for 38 years...
