- Auditorium-Orchester national Lyon (@Auditorium_ONL) April 28, 2020No instruments. Only rhythmic applause. We see them performing an arrangement of "Music for Pieces of Wood". A piece composed by the American Steve Reich whose objective was to make a work using the most basic musical instruments possible.
The original piece, written in 1973, was performed by claves, small wooden sticks.
