I was thinking about this, while driving home listening to a live version of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", which has a rather memorable opening measure.
What music that features woodwind has a memorable first measure? Y'know, one where a non-woodwind player might say, "Oh! I know that! I've heard that before!" Like, say, this. Or, how about, this -- for the double-reed set?
The thing is, I really can't think of many other pieces that open with a woodwind that I'd immediately know. I know a lot that have an opening THEN you've got a memorable woodwind line, like, say, this (which my younger daughter is quite fond of).
So, y'all know any music that opens with a woodwind that you think common folk might recognize?
