Listen to the oboe as a duck, the clarinet as a cat, the flute as a bird, the bassoon as Peter's grandfather. Of course, the voice of Peter is the string section, and the wolf is played by a french horn. Woodwinds are the stars today. Listen to a Brandenburg Concerto by Bach, von Weber's concertino for clarinet, a piano quintet for winds by Beethoven, a Vivaldi piccolo concerto, and a Mozart flute quartet. The show's curtain rises on Rossini's overture for the opera Tancredi, and a beautiful aria is featured from the same opera.
