Excerpt from Some Famous Symphonies: How to Understand Them, With Their Story and Simple Analysis, References Also to Gramophone Records The orchestra is that of the classical period, but not quite so finely coloured as Mozart and Beethoven (the latter a pupil of Haydn) made it nor is it extended anywhere to trombones, which were not then in general use. It is composed of two flutes, two oboes, two Clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, drums and strings. Horns and trumpets, having no valves at the time, are restricted to open notes, as in Mozart and Beethoven.
