Percussion Study

Subject 7 is from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 6. mov. iii, mm. 330–end. The goal was to examine the percussion and the orchestration that is built around these rhythmic elements.

  • Example A is the orchestration of just the timpani and bass drum

  • Example B is the orchestration of just the timpani and bass drum and brass section

  • Example C is the orchestration of the woodwinds and strings

  • Example D is the original tutti scored by Tchaikovsky
