Baritone Quotations
The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.
Steve Lacy

Placido Domingo

Gerry Mulligan
The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing.
Gerry Mulligan

Gerry Mulligan
