All right. Now, how about a low instrument?
The bassoon.
1:01:12
Go on. Go on, drop the other shoe,
will you?
1:01:21
Now to finish, suppose we see
some of the percussion instruments.
1:01:24
Beginning with the base drum.

Thanks a lot old man.

The symphony that Beethoven called "The Pastoral"
is said, is one of the few pieces of music...
1:01:59
...he ever wrote that tells
something like a definite story.
1:02:02
He was a great nature lover,
and in this symphony...
1:02:05
he paints a musical picture
of a day in the country.
1:02:08
Now of course, the country that Beethoven described
was the countryside with which he was familiar.
1:02:13
But his music covers a much wider field than that.
1:02:16
And so Walt Disney has given the Pastoral Symphony
a mythological setting.
