Awesome / P.D.Q. Bach

• The bicycle solo in Pervertimento specifically, but in general any time Schickele is able to make the listener forget that either the instrument itself (ie: a twirling length of vacuum hose, or bicycle playing in overtones) or the technique involved (ie: playing a bassoon with only one hand) severely limits the number of producible tones.
  • The prologue to Oedipus Tex also deserves mention in this regard, since the horn part (which requires about 10 distinct pitches) is being played only on the mouthpiece, amplified with a funnel.
• Concerto for Horn and Hardart features a vending machine as an instrument, with Schickele frantically pushing coins into it to produce the various noisemakers in time to play them.
