TOY SYMPHONY
(First Movement)
s i

Leopold Mozart’s Toy Symphony is a delight for

v
R

the performer and audience alike. This

delightful piece from the early classical period
e

shows the same whimsical and carefree style in

e

which his son, Wolfgang, would later begin

composing. The solo parts for toys can be
lU
r

performed easily by band members on “real”

instruments (for example, using clarinet or oboe
P

for the cuckoo and a pair of clarinets or oboes

a

for the train whistle) or by anyone else on actual

eg

toys. You could feature parents, other teachers

or even your principal on these parts.
L

To the director:
The commercially available cuckoo whistles can be tuned to
the correct pitches by adding a small quantity of water.
