"Peter and the Wolf" is a fascinating children’s classical symphony
that was created by Sergei Prokofiev in Moscow in 1936. Each
character in the story has a particular instrument and a musical
theme:
- Bird: flute
- Cat: clarinet
- Duck: oboe
- Grandfather: bassoon
- Hunters: woodwind theme, with gunshots on timpani and bass
drum
- Peter: string instruments (including violin, viola, cello, and bass)
- Wolf: french horns
Do you know these instruments? Do you think they were good
choices for the animals? Why?
(Music, Xun Xu, A130A)

aspects. For example, mechanical engineers use
the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics
to design and manufacture machines and devices
of all types, and that is really fascinating to me. In
your opinion, what are some really fascinating
aspects in your major, and why do you think they
are fascinating?
