> - Cut the number of full-time symphony musicians from 72 to 42.

So they want to change from a symphonic orchestra to a chamber one.

No, they want to be able to program music by Mozart without paying a Bass Clarinet player to do nothing.

Even if most symphony performances include 72 players, not all of them do, and it's not always the same 72.
