I have trouble thinking of Holmes and an orchestra, you know?
Listening to one, you mean? Or playing in it?
If he were playing concertos as an amateur, he would likely be making do with a piano accompaniment anyway. Even with orchestral pieces, most listeners were most familiar with them from the piano reductions. (Given that there was no recording technology.)
