A black cat plays this instrument in Lucifer's Dance in Karlheinz Stockhausen's Licht. After the cornet solo that opens the first movement of Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé, this instrument plays the movement's main melody, accompanied by a side drum. There is a popular but mistaken belief that, along with the trombone, this instrument's first use in a symphony was in the final movement of Beethoven's Fifth. This instrument introduces the subject of the fugue that ends Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. There is a famous obbligato for this instrument in the trio of "The Stars and Stripes Forever." It is called the ottavino in Italian because it sounds one octave higher than written. For 10 points, name this wind instrument that's similar to a flute, but smaller.
