The classic example is a string quartet: it takes the same number of musicians to perform a string quartet today as in the 1600's.

And yet the wiki you cite provides arguments that productivity has increased with string quartets so I'm not sure it is that analogous.

"Gambling and Andrews pointed out in 1984 that productivity does go up with the size of the performance halls. Furthermore Greenfield pointed out in 1995 that far more people hear the performance due to advances in amplification, recording and broadcasting, so productivity has increased many-fold."
