What instrument gives pitch to the orchestra?
Question
#14835. Asked by Dpete4.
|
The Gorm
|
The oboe (an A I think)
|
Gnomon
|
The Gorm is right. Normally an oboe plays an A to tune the orchestra. If the performance is for piano and orchestra, though, the piano provides the note. (It would be impossible to retune the piano).
