Classical Music
After listening to an hour of classical radio today online on dpr.org, I only listened 4 different pieces seeing as 2 of the songs were over 20 minutes apiece, but I heard many different instruments in each piece. I heard numerous woodwind instruments including numerous flutes and clarinets, but I am pretty confident I heard all types of woodwinds in the pieces I heard. I also heard very strong brass sections in the pieces, namely trumpets and tubas standing out to me because I used to play those 2 instruments, so I could tell their sounds easily. I also think that I probably heard french horns and trombones, though their sound was not as apparent to me. The woodwinds had the warm (obviously) woody sound, and the brass had a very (you guessed it) brassy sound. I enjoyed listening to the classical music a lot actually because the overall sound of orchestras playing together is something I find to be very complex but very intruiging.
