If you are new to - or old and unmoved by - classical music then maybe Benjamin Britten can persuade you; or at least show you how it can work. The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (1945) was Britten's way of showing off the roles and ranges of the various instruments in the orchestra. This last section, the short Fugue, brings it all together. If you want to know more about the piece here is a good explanation. Then maybe go and listen to it all?
