    		I believe Richard Strauss also fits the bill - some of his orchestral works call for the greatest number of players ever in a symphony orchestra.

    		Yes sir, Richard Strauss. Try his string quartet
    and his violin sonata and concerto. Very fine works IMO

    		I know the violin concerto very well - all the Strauss concerti really (including the Burlesque for piano and orchestra).
