Show-stealing timpani

Ostensibly, the piano is the featured instrument in Richard Strauss' Burlesque for Piano and Orchestra -- but the timpani often steal the show. It's a wild, audacious, entertaining piece by the young Strauss, and on Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear it from a concert in Hamburg, Germany.
