Benjamin Britten depicted a series of Roman mythological characters in a piece written for this instrument titled Six Metamorphoses after Ovid. The earliest published concerti for this instrument appear in Tomaso Albinoni's Opus 7, while it represents the quail in the second movement of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. A mezzo version of this instrument represents the child in Strauss' Sinfonia Domestica and is given the epithet "d'amore." Mozart's concerto for this instrument was later transposed up a key to serve as his second concerto for flute, and it plays the A that the orchestra tunes to before a performance. For 10 points, name this double reed woodwind that represents the duck in Peter and the Wolf.
