bassoon
for example, "amnesia vivace" begins with a collage of quotations from stravinsky ballets: first, the band plays the "ritual action of the ancestors" from "the rite of spring", part ii; then harpsichord and chattering voices evoke the pounding dance of the adolescents in part i, over which sax and zappa's voice start quoting the bassoon melody at the very opening of the rite and continue into the lyrical berceuse (also for bassoon) at the end of stravinsky's "the firebird". the opening sequence of "petrouchka" is quoted in the middle section of "status back baby". "soft-sell conclusion" ends with a version of the trombone melody that opens stravinsky's "marche royale" from "the soldier's tale".
