episode 4: tambourine, triangle, and castanets

Bill takes you "behind the curtain" (or behind the violins, rather) to discuss some of the choices and techniques that face orchestral percussionists.  usually, the part only says something like "tambourine" or "triangle". . . it's up to the percussionist to determine what sound and what color is appropriate at any given moment!
