I've gotten a much wider variety of work since I left school (orchestra, musicals, church, rock band, etc...) and it seems like the only thing I use my Eb for is practicing the Haydn (and even military bands are requiring it on B-flat now).

Thanks,

I use the Eb for Le Sacre, and only a few other things. I use the D side of the horn much more. Almost everything written in F trumpet works on the D. Try the Sibelius Second Symphony on the D
