I wasn't aware that Fletch could "play all the instruments" but I once heard him, during a warm-up, purely on a momentary impulse, play the entire first movement of Haydn 101, on the tuba. Obviously not all the parts simultaneously, but you could follow the outline of the themes, as well as wisely chosen accompaniments and inner voices. There was no searching or faking, he knew the piece, and he knew where to go from one moment to the next.
