Mr.Watras wants to know how the seating chart of the orchestra has changed. In the Baroque Period there was about nine different types of insturments including the violen, flute, oboe, trumpet, Double bass, and other instruments. Then we go to the Classical Period in wich the french horn, the bassoon, the timpani, and a conductor was added. Also some of the previous insturments have doubled or been added to. We then move on to the Romantic Period where they add a piano, piccolo, harp, tuba, trombone, and a clarinet. Finallly we move into the Modern Period. Here they add a saxaphone, synthesizer, Euphonium, wind machine, gong, and the theremin.
