Aerophones
I played clarinet for 4 years when I was in grade school and I still recognize the sound of one in classical pieces. While listening to DPR I heard many pieces that included the clarinet as well as many other aerophones. Another instrument I could clearly recognize in many of the pieces was the flute. In one piece I listened to, the flute was very prominent and was accompanied by clarinets as well as oboes. I also listened to a piece that used the trumpet to produce a very upbeat tempo. This piece also included a tuba I believe. The last piece I was able to listen to was mostly played by string instruments. I couldn't make out any trace of aerophones throughout the piece.

What pieces did you hear? Who were the composers?
