One movement in this work is based off of Hector Berlioz's "Dance of the Sylphs" but replaces the light woodwind melody with the double bass as a musical joke. Another movement of this work represents pianists practicing their scales and another is an extremely slow version of Offenbach's "Infernal Galop" from Orpheus in the Underworld. In the movement entitled "Fossils", a xylophone is used to portray the rattling of bones in a similar manner to another of this composer's pieces, Danse Macabre. For ten points, identify this 14 movement suite that includes a famous cello solo in "the Swan," composed by Camille Saint-Saens to depict a zoological parade.
