I like them all but I can single out Trumpet, Clarinet and Bagpipe.

Both the trumpet and clarinet have iconic solos at the beginning of some great pieces.


Mahler 5 trumpet...


And that horn call is the basis of the best dog video. How do the pooches know when the scales end and the Mahler starts?

Gershwin's most famous work
This opens with a famous clarinet solo.




The only classical composition I can think of that uses a bagpipe is Mad Max "Orkney wedding with sunrise"


It doesn't open up with the bagpipe.
But it has a bagpipe where it would appear in a traditional Orkney wedding.
