Dr. Paul presents Peter and the Wolf: A woodwind classicTue, 02/28/2012 - 1:00pm | Dr. Paul

Today's show features the voices of the woodwind section of the orchestra: the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, flute, and piccolo. Scored mainly for woodwinds, Peter and the Wolf features various instruments as characters in the musical suite by Prokofiev. 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.
