Second that! "The second violins got pretty parts, which really should not happen."
I remember the Ostinato movement from Holst's St.Paul's Suite, for which the second violins play four notes. Over and over and over again. If I recall correctly, they were either C-B-A-B or A-B-C-B; I may be wrong on the key, but I remember very well that technically it was three notes. And we repeated them way more often that fifty-four times. So I fully sympathise with his story.
I never noticed that, but all those popular songs using the same chord progression is so true.
