Daniel 's oboe piece is one of the "Six Metamorphoses of Ovid" by Benjamin Britten. Nicole's trombone piece is "Elegy for Mippy II" by Leonard Bernstein. The trombone/French horn duet is "A Song for Japan" by Steven Verhelst. Andrew's piano piece is "Romeo and Juliet" by Sergei Prokofiev, and the second movement from Beethoven’s Piano Sonata #13 "Pathetique."
