Strap on your helmets because this coffee break comes on strong with timpani. Mr. Somers takes on a trip through the styles of timpani dynamics, including Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Symphony #9, as well as pieces from Haydn and Schuman. And we also discuss how the timps took over the parts written for the third trumpets. Those brass players can't get no respect.
