Hello all,

I wonder if you can help.

There is a very famous pice of music that starts with a single member of the orchestra playing, they play the whole piece and then another member joins in, this goes on until the entire orchestra is playing the piece.

Anyone know what it is pleeeease

Cheers
Phil

It's called Bolero by Ravel.

Well its not 4'33"

Perhaps the opposite of Ravel's Bolero is Haydn's Symphony No. 45, where each member of the orchestra eventually walks off until only two muted violins are left. Someone should program them together and bring everything full-circle in perpetuity.

Tubular bells by Mike Oldfield. :devil:

The most unusual thing is the OP's join date...April 2006!!! And then a first post.
