There's no shots of any oboeists.
I used to play this tune (not as the typewriter). If you're playing a non string instrument it's bastard hard to keep going without breaking into a smile at times, which ruins your embouchure. |

Eric Satie wrote the first orchestration for typewriter, called "Parade", which also includes score for pistol shot. |

@Agent0024blo: That girl playing the oboe can blow my woodwind anytime.
The one in the black dress at 2:19ish?
That may be my wife's cousin. I've never met her, but I know she plays either the clarinet or oboe professionally and has played with the Madrid Symphony Orchestra. I'll have to ask her when she gets home from her trip... |

Leroy Anderson is one of the greatest composers of popular music in the 20th century. His body of work is awesome. |

Excellent and novel (in 1950) composition. Good performance, although I prefer it a bit faster.
It looks like everyone who has posted thus far knows this piece, but I'll offer the following for those who may not:
Title: The Typewriter
Composer: Leroy Anderson
Year composed: 1950
Original performance: Boston Pops
It is reported that the piece can only be performed by an adequately-skilled percussionist with needed wrist flexibility. As is probably expected, the typewriter used must have certain characteristics including mechanical keys, a typewriter bell, and a carriage return mechanism.
It's my understanding that the piece is only played with two keys (as it appears to be in this video). |

There was a violinist at the back I wouldn't mind fiddling with. |

Jerry Lewis does a great "air guitar" version of this in the film, "Who's Minding the Store." |
