It's not the viola, but this instrument intones a children's song about a cuckoo in Der Schwanendreher. The unusual tempo marking "Andante ma Adagio" appears in the second movement of Mozart's only known concerto for this instrument in B-flat major. Nielsen's sixth and Haydn's ninety-third symphonies both have this instrument play a fortissimo "fart." A solo for this instrument marked with six "p"s appears in Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony. The opening melody of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is played by this solo instrument in a very high register. This instrument represents the grandfather from Peter and the Wolf. For 10 points, name this richly-baritone double reed woodwind instrument in the standard orchestra.
