Leroy Anderson "The Typewriter" symphony

"The Typewriter" is a novelty instrumental piece written by Leroy Anderson in 1950, and first performed by the Boston Pops.

Its name refers to the fact that its performance requires a typewriter, which is used on stage: keystrokes, the typewriter bell, and the carriage return mechanism provide a major component of the piece.








It has been called one of "the wittiest and most clever pieces in the orchestral repertoire''.
Maybe one day your child ask you " What is a typewriter?'' , you can answer " It's a musical instrument !'' .
