Claude Debussy Symphony No. 5
Claude Debussy composed Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun in the romantic era. This piece was meant to be performed by a relatively modest orchestra that focuses less on the brass part and more on the woodwinds and strings. My second choice, Helicopter String Quartet was composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen, a German composer, in the 20th-century era. This piece is a combination of four string players in four different helicopters. My third and final choice, Symphony No. 5 was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, a Belgian composer, in the Classical era. The instruments in the orchestra for this piece are, the piccolo, flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns, trumpets, bassoons, trombones, timpani and string instruments. As can be seen above, these pieces

    Also, the instrumentation shows it was written in the classical period; it is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, horns, timpani, continuo (harpsichord) and a string section containing first and second violins, violas, cellos and double basses.
