"Peter and the Wolf" is a combination of children's story and musical composition by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. During performances, a narrator tells the story while accompanied by music played by an orchestra. Each character in the story is represented by a [[Leitmotif]] played on a unique instrument.
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
The story tells the tale of an encounter of a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|young boy named Peter with a wolf.]] The other characters are Peter's grandfather, a duck, a bird, a cat and an unspecified number of hunters.
The work has been recorded numerous times by many different orchestras, and has also been adapted to a variety of other media, including animation, stop-motion animation, theatre and ballet. It has also inspired many variants and parodies (most notably one by [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] and [[Wendy Carlos]]), some of which include different characters and instruments. For a partial list, see [[The Other Wiki]]'s [[wikipedia:Peter and the wolf|article]].
