Listen for the following instruments in these songs:
The Typewriter – I think it’s pretty clear what you’re listening for here!
Toy Symphony – This piece uses many different toys and noisemakers throughout.
Anvil Chorus – That metal banging sound you hear throughout the end of this piece? Those are people actually hammering metal anvils, just like blacksmiths use.
Piano Concerto, Khatchaturian – At about 2:40 into this piece, listen for the flexatone, a crazy metal percussion instrument rarely used in orchestra music.
Pines of Rome: The Pines of the Janiculum – At the end of this piece you’ll hear pre-recorded bird sounds.
Finale from 1812 Overture – The end of this piece uses actual cannons!
