[CAUT] Non-440 tuning request

I've never heard a specific answer as to what the musical benefit of a  
higher pitch is.

Certainly if Vienna has specific higher-pitch instruments, I  
understand.  Back in my radio days, some stations would bump up the  
speed of turntables to 46 or 47 RPM, so their music would sound faster  
and snappier.

What is the benefit to an orchestra?
