music frequency


The only thing I know about the frequency is that the audible to human ear is 20-20khz and the middle C on the piano is 250hz. Can you tell me what frequency range a complex orchestra music might be?

I like this chart from the PSB website. I believe that all frequencies are important. There are orchestra pieces that go down to 16 Hz and some that are only going down to 30 Hz. I believe that there are harmonics above and below the principle tone that are important and anything less is a significant compromise. Add a sub to get that low (integration difficulties assumed).
