I'm trying to identify the instruments used in each part of Ravel's Bolero. I'm hoping somebody can tell me which instruments are being played during each section of the piece. (Forgive my ignorance but I think the melody is played through 18 times, then it changes a bit at the very end when it sounds like elephants)
Here is my guess, please correct when needed and fill in the blanks
1-flute
2-bassoon
3-?
4-clarinet
5-oboe
6-trumpet
7-tenor sax
8-soprano sax
9-picolo + ?
10-?
11- trombone
12-flute + ?
13 strings
14-strings + woodwinds?
15-strings + trumpets + ?
16-strings + ?
17-?
18 - brass + woodwinds (or is it full orchestra?)
then the melody changes a bit and then sounds like elephants, then ends.
I'm hoping somebody who knows the piece well can tell me exacty which instruments are being playing and when. I'd like to play this piece for my kids as a listening excersize on identifying the sound of different instruments (but I need the lesson first! hehe)
